it was a fast paced and entertaining book but beyond that it really wasn’t anything special. I was expecting something a lot more airtight and intense. while there were interesting facets to this, there were many moments that felt repetitive and the science felt flimsy. I also found it weak that we never get any closer on amanda’s arc. 
I picked up this book because it was pitched to me as being similar to “project hail mary”. this novel doesn’t stack up in the slightest to weir’s book. but, this book was exactly the sort of easy and quick read I needed at the moment. I just wish it had a bit more substance.
