#Aurora had parts of it that I skipped past and other parts that I read and found interesting. The ending seemed a little blah to me.

Just okay! I liked this well enough, and the science-y details didn’t bug me too much, as someone who is usually turned off by “hard” sci-fi. Needed more bisexuals. I really liked Jochi as a character, and I like Robinson’s exploration of the “why” behind space travel and condemnation of the hubris of science bros. I would read more of Robinson’s work after having this as my introduction, but I don’t think I would rush to recommend this one.
