Great quick read. But not simple or trashy. Just well written and a great, unique idea. I loved the main character and his dilemma felt understandable. I picked this book up on whim and an m glad I did!

I'm not usually in to fantasy but this one grabbed me. Likely because it wasn't pretending to be about kings and queens and dragons and magic. It's all entirely created works with lots of different kinds of sentient life, none of which are human. It helps that Martha Wells is an excellent writer.

This is not like Murderbot at all so don't expect that. But she's still very good at her craft.

Good. Weird pacing. I think the autor was trying to tell a story about how hard it is to be a new parent without just talking about having a baby. But it made for a hard to follow timeline and pace. Entertaining

Humor writing is hard to get right. Moore does a good job doing that. This is not his greatest but it's good, engaging, funny and the characters are superb. The story was inventive.

Good. Got a bit tedious with me. Teenage angst and depression. But the interesting setting for a book that's really all about mental health and much less about that time.
