Favorite Character: Reiter
Favorite Part: Honestly? None, it wasn't memorable enough for me to have a favorite part.
Thoughts: This would've been much better had the author had a competent editor. There were so many grammar errors and punctuation errors that it was impossible to get immersed in the story. Not to mention most of the characters felt flat, and the constant bouncing around was jarring. Overall the idea was excellent, just poor execution.

Favorite Character: Elspeth
Favorite Part: When Alice does the soul trade for Peter and then finally confesses how much she loves him
Thoughts: This was a little slow in parts, hence the half start taken off the final score, but *Oh* everything else was MAGNIFICENT!!!!! What an incredible interpretation of the Afterlife, and what incredible characters!!!!! There were times where I hated Alice, but by the end I LOVED her and how she learned, and Oh she learned!!!!! Overall incredible, I love Kuang's work so so much!!!!!

Favorite Character(s): Sam and Vida
Favorite Part: When Vida opens the present and it's a pair of yellow sneakers, like the seer had.
Thoughts: What a well written, action packed story of Nature vs. Progress!!!!! I either loved or despised the characters, with few in-betweens because they were so well written it was hard not to have very strong feelings about them!!!!! I read this as a buddy read with my mom and we both agree, this is FANTASTIC!!!!!

Favorite Character: Dr. Mensah
Favorite Part: When Dr. Mensah asked Murderbot if it wanted to join them in the crew area and it looked so horrified that she immediately was like "Or not".
Thoughts: What a delightful novella!!! It's rare to find a novella that world builds so incredibly well and has such wonderful characters at the same time!!! I really enjoyed this and once I'm more stable I plan on buying the rest of them!!!
DNF at 56%. As much as I desperately wanted to Love this, especially as someone who's also disabled (albeit in a different way), sadly the writing just wasn't there. It got to the point that I dreaded reading it. The pacing was off and there was a lot of unnecessary details. I truly did want this to be a new favorite, but unfortunately this just wasn't for me.
