4⭐️ - A cute and cosy space adventure with an adorable kitty companion, that probably could have not been in space.
Scout and her brother Kieran are archivists scouring a barren universe for a way to save their home planet. As they travel between planets that are mysteriously devoid of life, despite signs of advanced technologies and futuristic alien architectures. When they get a ping from a cache of data that might be just what they're looking for, they scour the abandoned planets with their feline companion Pumpkin, always on the heels of violent agents of a for-profit outfit (which feels very Twister, now I think of it, hehe.)
This was an interesting story - not quite what I expected when I started reading it. The space elements are largely irrelevant to the story and it could almost have been told set on a single planet with a few tweaks, which is always a risk of debut sci-fi. The core of the story is a very 'human' one, with a central romance plot told through journal entries that was surprisingly poignant. It didn't end any way like I thought it would, but it was still very entertaining.
