This started quite promisingly but I was a bit disappointed by the end. I love Becky Chambers' and Andy Weir's books and I was hoping this would be similar but this is certainly not a fun space book. The premise was so interesting and I really wanted to get swept up in the story but it turned out to be quite slow paced considering how high the stakes are. I didn't feel connected to the characters so I didn't really care about the flashback chapters and the climax was a bit of a let down. There were parts I really enjoyed but overall it didn't come together for me.
