I’ll be honest, this was a very middle-of-the-road sci-fi book for me. It isn't bad by any means, but it just didn’t move me. It’s basically a guy uploaded into a space probe quietly solving orbital mechanics problems. It completely lacks the intense adrenaline spikes of a good thriller or the deep, complex grit I usually gravitate toward.
Reading this was actually a great learning opportunity for me, though. It made me realize I’m growing as a reader and I just need more from my books now—either heavy structural depth or real, kinetic action. The one part that did hook me was the terrifying political backstory on Earth, which felt way too comparable to current events in the USA right now. I couldn't read the last half fast enough just so I could move on to something else. Happy to be through it, but I'm officially done with the Bobiverse. Time to move on to the next book!
