Lifel1k3 by Jay Kristoff
4.0

The Anastasia Romanov/Pinnochio post-apocalyptic scifi you didn't know you needed! This has all the witty banter of the Illuminae Files (which Jay Kristoff co-authored), and the dialogue has a Firefly-esque feel. Very cool worldbuilding and set-up. I genuinely didn't see the last twist coming either, which is nice for a novel in the oft-trope-ridden, predictable YA category. Good fun with a surprising amount of pathos. I'm looking forward to checking out the next book!
