3.0

Originally, I thought this was going to be a book I rated with a one or two, but instead, I am teetering between 2.5 and 3.5. I read the first chapter and put it away for several months (hence why it says started in October), thinking that the grammar was going to ruin it all, but when I finally managed to get past the annoying grammar (trust me it's worth it! Just push through it!) I really enjoyed it. I was reading some comments when I first started the book, most of them saying how they couldn't finish because of the grammar, or because it was too slow once they landed on Earth, however, I am going to say that I thought the opposite. To be one hundred percent honest, I really felt as though the book maintained the same pacing throughout, but maybe that was just me.

So, getting on to my actual rating, I would give this a 2.5 if I was just basing this off what I thought the first half of the book because my brain was just editing how I would have wrote it. What that would have looked like for me was more developed relationships, starting the book years before when it actually started, but I understand why it was important for the story to not give dedicated pages to this. After finishing it, I would now give it a 3.5 because I really truly did enjoy reading this and am proud to have it on my shelf.
