A review by mysimas
The Last Hour of Gann by R. Lee Smith

Did not finish book. Stopped at 7%.

Didn’t get very far, the characters behaved too illogically for me to stomach. An example: during the flight to the new planet, the passengers would only be conscious for only a few hours total while spending the rest of the time in stasis. The protagonist thought that during the flight she’d be seated next to her (whiny, terrible, useless, annoying) sister, but because she signed them up too late, there were no free neighbouring seats left and they had to be seated apart. So the protagonist makes a Karen move and demands from the manager she and her sister are seated together. The manager tells Karen he can only do that by relocating them to a different class — which means that after the landing, they’d be housed in the district of the new group for the duration of their stay, aka 5 years. The kicker? Karen’s original class guaranteed far better living standards. But she can’t be separated from her adult sister for even 5 waking hours, so she throws away 5 years of comfort of the both of them instead. Like, hello? This woman is the supposed responsible older sibling??

Also, have I mentioned, Karen’s little sister was sooooo awful, worse than Draco Malfoy on his worst tirade!
