A review by juliemawesome
D.A., by Connie Willis
4.0
Really good blend of modern science fiction (Japanese-inspired elements, messaging, hacking) with classic (space cadet academy.. in space!). The female main characters are just a bonus.
The largest (and perhaps only) problem with this book is that it's not a novel. It's not a novella either, and I wonder if it's even a novelette. It's darned short. And while it does have a conclusion, it's much more of a 'first section of a larger novel' sort of conclusion.
It's somewhat like someone told Connie Willis to write a tween book and she didn't know how to handle the length of it.
I wish there was more. Is there more? I want to read it if there's more.
