This was a really fun sequel to Station Eternity. A new group of humans on the station, a new murder, and something being off with the Sundry while Mrs. Brown heads off to learn more about her role means a lot of chaos.
Like everything around Mallory when coincidences and circumstance align things get odd almost as soon as Mrs. Brown leaves the station with Mallory in charge. The group of humans coming to the station include 3 people she knows, the Sundry are behaving oddly, Xan is left without Infinity as Mrs. Brown took her for transportation, and Tina is taking her role as Queen very seriously. I do have to say Tina was the standout delight in this book. Her entire goal is to help people and she does it in a series of ways that seems off the wall and bizarre, but ultimately work. I loved every sentence we spent in Tina's POV.
Everyone is out of their element in this book and it brought out a lot of different sides of characters we didn't get to see in Station Eternity. It was fun, the murder mystery came together in a way that made perfect sense in retrospect, and we got to learn more about how the universe and the various species in it operate.
Highly recommend for anyone who was a fan of Station Eternity. Not recommended for people who didn't enjoy that.
