I listened to this in a single sitting after meaning to pick it up for literal years, and it was both exactly what I expected and not at all what I expected. Basically all I knew about this was that it's sci-fi featuring a Black protagonist, but I didn't know it dealt with her leaving Earth or encountering an alien species or the way the story plays out. This had me on the edge of my seat, and I'm definitely going to have to pick up the other two books in the trilogy because this was fantastic.
