A Pale Light in the Black by K.B. Wagers

  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes

4.0

Immediately I knew I loved the SF world building and the crew dynamics. To begin with the world building, the world of NeoG is intriguing and detailed. Wagers does a fantastic job of telling you what you need, while also leaving mysteries and plenty of shadows. There's a balance between understanding the world we have seen, while also knowing there's so much more to see - you'll have to read book two! Just like me. At the same time, I loved the crew dynamics. 

Crew stories - no matter if it's on the sea or in space - are always my kryptonite. There's nothing I love more about witnessing a group of unlikely allies to figure out how to work together. To see these hidden secrets and vulnerabilities within each other and find themselves a found family. That's probably the number one reason I love crew stories is that they're almost always found family stories as well. And A Pale Light in the Black is no exception.
