Missed out on getting to this on time when I had itnot from the library, so nabbed it when I saw it was a free listen on Audible, but recently noticed it was due to come off of the free selection, so I quickly gobbles this one up.
I haven't read an Aliens book before this one but within the last few years had gone through the timeline of movies and have really enjoyed them. I have also read two prior novels by V. Castro: The Haunting of Alejandra and Immortal Pleasures so I was intrigued to see her take on this already established universe.
I don't think I particularly remember the character of Vasquez from the movies, but I enjoyed delving into an imagined origins for her.
For the most part, this was some background entertainment whilst I was doing bits and pieces throughout my day, but the story was strong and the characters were well fleshed out and I enjoyed the expansion into the Aliens universe, where we had focused more on the people.
Pick it up, give it a go and enjoy!
