This was a decent read, it went along at a good clip, but it was framed as a sort of mystery and the mystery wasn’t super satisfying.
A bunch of young folks are on a privately funded generation ship headed to settle some distant Planet X, when there is a mysterious explosion. Our protagonist was investigating the mysterious object spotted on the hull when it exploded killing her friend who was also doing the spacewalk investigation, and so gets deputized by the captain to figure out who was behind the bomb (since she is most likely to be innocent as she almost died in the explosion). Oh and also everyone on the ship has augmented reality implants to keep them from going stir crazy on a boring spaceship during the voyage. Asuka (our protagonist) is not the best detective and her implant seems to be on the fritz post-explosion.
It was a decent read but could have stood to be a bit more challenging.
