The Comet's Curse by Dom Testa
2.0
Closer to a 1.5.
Sometimes, if you don't have a lot of nice things to say about a book, you don't say much at all. I'm going to be quick about this one: The Comet's Curse is a poorly-edited attempt at an Ender's Game-style space survival tale that has limited stakes, characters that don't act their ages, and a plot idea that would be interesting if the book ever got to it.
I did get to the sequel, and it's markedly better, but wow, this book is pretty rough. I can't recommend it unless you're willing to power through to the second one, and even that's not something I can necessarily recommend doing.
