I went into this with space adventure vibes of Firefly/Serenity, but I ended up with the horror, space thriller vibes of Serenity. When that tonal shift happened, the story took off and I got incredibly absorbed to the bittersweet end. I was supposed to slowly read this thru the month of Aug and here I am, finished a week in. Going to find the other two books to fill the month. Well done!

I like the formatting of it in text chats and transcripts of surveillance footage.

Spoiler

The bit about AIDAN pretending to be Ezra was a bit confusing and I do kinda wish the audience knew about it before Kady found out.
