3.75

A classic sci-fi tale and tropes--retold with some modern twists and representation.
What really kept me reading (engrossed) was the drama between the three main characters. That sweet, sweet drama. The writing was competent and the pacing felt appropriate. Characters were believable and felt real.
The plot of the book is standard sci-fi fare. It was easy predict the "big reveal" before the end of part 1, but that didn't stop me. It was a well-told story and a fun read.
