A review by laurenjamesauthor
Satellite by Nick Lake
[Gifted]
The voice in this book is going to be the main factor that effect whether people enjoy this book, I think - it's distinctly unusual, imitating the situation of the main character, who grew up on the ISS, and so learnt to speak from shortened NASA communications. It is annoying at first, but I found I didn't notice it after I'd been reading for a long time. I read this in one sitting - I imagine it's more noticeable if you dip in and out of it.
I loved the characters - Leo is struggling with his sexuality when he only knows two people his own age, who feel like siblings to him - and I'd happily read another book set in this world.
