“5.5/10 - This book was more disappointing than I expected.
The premise and first 2 chapters is what got me hooked in the first place as the concept was more distopian than other books I have read.
Trying to decipher why Captain Raine killed his crew and why his body morphed like it did was so interesting to me. However this is not where the book went.
The rest of the book was a goal to get back to QV Tel and figure out what was going on there (which I was still on board for). The parts that disappointed me was the amount of time it took to do such minor things, like Berd and his device. I was interested in the device and how it worked but going through the whole April of him going to the centre of the planet, I wasn't interested in.
There is also a lot of astrophysics in this book, which I do enjoy but a lot of it was over complicated so I would need to read it a few times and really slow down my reading to get a basic understanding of the concepts described
A fair amount of the book if fast paced which kept me engaged, but it kept changing pace which I don't particularly like.
Not something I would necessarily recommend.”
