Almost, but every time I thought of doing so, the end of the chapter would hook me in and I'd wind up reading more. The flashbacks tied back into the story in a necessary way but somehow still felt clunky. The rest of it? I couldn't put it down.

And if the point is to give her enemies hope and then take it away they would need to be awake for that. Most of them would seem to go into cryosleep and then just wake up on earth (if everything had gone wrong and IAN returned them, as intended). They'd be disappointed after, and down some cash, but it wouldn't be ongoing suffering.
Maybe the idea is supposed to be that these six has the worst combination of personalities to fly the ship together? But again, I fail to see how some of them "deserved" to be on that ship in the first place.

I felt that the plot was well thought-out and well executed, and I really liked the majority of the characters. Each character had their own distinct personality and flaws. They felt very believable and human to me. I really enjoyed the parts of the book that dug into the backstory of each character too. Often when I'm reading a book that jumps between past and present, I find one timeline more interesting than the other, but I really enjoyed both the past and present sections of this read.
I also really liked the ethical and moral dilemmas brought up throughout the story. I enjoy being able to mull over the contents of my recent read, and I felt like this book gave me a lot to think about. I also felt like it fleshed out the universe of the book a lot; it helped it to feel more lived in.
I'd definitely recommend this to anyone who enjoys a good murder mystery and would like a strong dose of sci-fi to go with it.
