It was the first book I read about first-contact and space travel and it was a little intimidating at first, but this book was easy to read and get into. The pacing of the plot was perfect. There wasn't a single moment where I felt a scene was dragging on too long or passing too fast.
Kira was a very relatable and interesting character to follow through this story. The way she handled the Soft Blade and how they had to figure each other out slowly was very rewarding.
The crew of the Wallfish quickly grew on me and I'm so glad they stuck with Kira until the end.
I feel like all the loose strands came together so perfectly at the end. All 800+ pages of this book felt necessary and finishing this book felt like saying goodbye to a friend. I don't think I'll get over it any time soon.
