5.0

i genuinely and wholeheartedly believe that this series is some of THE most solid and innovative hard science fiction in like, the last decade or two. holy shit.

also, unrelatedly, this book pulls off the "line that sounds perfectly ordinary and innocent out of context but is absolutely bone-chilling in context" thing SO well. "we're going on an adventure!" is going to haunt me forever
