5.0

(If I could rate this book higher than 5 stars, I would)

This is a beautifully written book. If you like Sci-Fi books with next-level world building, and/or books with unparalleled character development and growth, this could be your next series.

This is written my the same team that brought us The Expanse, and I have been both eagerly anticipating this book, and dreading that it wouldn't like to my expectations... it was everything I hoped for, and more. 

I honestly can't give this book enough praise. The narration is done by Jefferson Mays, the same person who narrated the expanse, and it is familiar because of him, but also completely different than The Expanse. 

I can't wait for the rest of this series!
