What an adventure!
What a riveting, charming and captivating ride!

This book was such a charming and fascinating experience! All the ideas, all the concepts, all the characters, trials and tribulations were all so beautifully written and paced.

Rylund Grace was a simple enough character and he did not need to be any more complex, the twist about 80% into the book that was revealed through his memories was somewhat expected but a nice twist.
It made his whole journey on the ship an unintentional and accidental redemption arc.


Rocky was a joy, a beautiful little character with a heart of gold. Watching Rocky and Grace's interactions was so gripping and enjoyable, seeing all their differences and learning about eachother and their differences and similarities was amazing.

Only thing to critique was sometimes the scientific jargon and concepts went over my head and I'd have to look things up myself which disrupted the flow of the book I did not want to put down, but it wasn't so common and severe that I was doing this all the time, I expected this from what I'd heard of the author's other works.

If you love sci-fi, aliens, wholesome and engaging stories, then I'd recommend this 🤓
