Reading the NetGalley eARC. This is my honest review.

I'm stopping at 33%, due to disinterest. Yet another point of view character has shown up, and I... don't care.

While I really like that a variety of humans fled an infected Earth, I'm getting lost recalling who is who, and why I should care. Other readers will enjoy this one, I'm sure. It just isn't my kind of story-telling.

I really liked this book! It's a fun, exciting space thriller with a bunch of interesting characters, high stakes, and intriguing political drama. I love the worldbuilding: the backstory on how/why these humans fled from Earth, the varied circumstances of the different systems, the casual presence of queer and non-binary people everywhere. I'd love to see a sequel; there's plenty left to explore.
