Though it might have taken me forever to get through I felt like it went by so fast! This is probably the first sci fi book, in the sense of space and science, that I’ve read in a long time and I’m glad it was this one. I first picked up this series when I found the second book and thought the cover looked so cool. Then I grabbed the whole series. This book was so good, I personally love military and science talk in books love the strategy and strange technology that is imagined in these novels. The idea that people can come back and be printed was so fucking cool. Also the characters I love how they change and evolve like Tarquín and Naira (I’m so rooting for them!!) and the Kav as well (MVP to be honest). I can’t wait to see where the space gang goes next and what could possibly occur.

Also loved that the villain is so many things like Tarquins Father and an alien fungi like not even a separate race just a plant that’s mad intelligent

I would also love to learn more about the printing process and the science behind the Cradles and everything! 

Anyway loved the book 😘
