Overall: 4/5 Very good, looking forward to the next one.
Characters: 3/5
The POV character is a 5/5 but everyone else feels a little one dimensional. I kept losing track of which supporting characters were which.

Setting/worldbuilding: 4/5
As an alternate-history Earth (yes I’m counting the space ship as Earth) I think there’s only so much that could have been done in this department. The fictional differences to real history are well developed.

Plot: 5/5
As with book 1, I was constantly on the edge of my seat. The pacing is excellent with a great balance between “character” scenes and “action” scenes. Completely unintentionally I read the second half of the book in a single day. I already have book 3 on my shelf and I’m considering starting it the same day.

Writing: 4/5
Easy to read, no wasted words, and constantly moving forward.
