Title: All Systems Red
Author: Martha Wells
Rating:  FIVE STARS OMG

This book made me realise two things:

-  I don't nearly read enough scifi.
- Martha Wells is a slay.

The pacing was absolutely perfect. I was always invested in the story. It had enough complex world building for me to understand all the concepts perfectly while not overloading me. Also this book gave me ALL the feels. ALL of them.

The characters are chefs kiss. I was so attached to them, but especially the MC. This book has a large cast of figures and I have to applaud Martha for making remembering their names worth my while. (i am sooo bad at remembering names!!!)
