The Cold Between by Elizabeth Bonesteel

4.0

While I really liked it, this book has some issues. It's a big world-builder setup novel for a series, but while it is FULL of backstory and exposition, it ends up leaving out information that broke me from the story a few times. I loved the vulgar characters, especially the tough women, and the tension between following rules and breaking rules. It felt a little inspired by Star Trek, but with less of an idealistic view of how things would go and no alien contact. The blurb doesn't really convey the story as well as it could, and totally ignores two of the important characters. I enjoyed it with all its rough edges though and am looking forward to the next one.
