In some ways this felt like a novelization of The Outer Worlds, hitting many of the main themes of that game. I never really got a feel for the title character, and nothing here struck me as original or newly thought-provoking. But the writing was good, and maybe I would have liked it more if I hadn't read it on the heels of playing the game.
