An intriguing space mystery. The ending brought it all together nicely but at times I found it a bit slow paced and lacking some action. I wish the cover description didn’t include a mention of a big plot point that happens 2/3 of the way through. I also thought that the MC was maybe the least interesting of the characters, the story would have been much more interesting from Ethan’s POV as we got to know his team and his life and motivations. It felt like Ophelia was extremely repetitive in her internal monologue which is accurate for her trauma but got a bit monotonous for tension building. Overall I liked the writing and it does read really quick! Great for those dipping their toes into the waters of space thrillers
