A review by alicejane
The Hatch by Michelle Saftich
2.0
*Thanks to Odyssey Books for a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review*
I don’t usually read sci-fi, but I thought I’d give this a go and see what I thought.
There is plenty of action, some good plot twists, and an intriguing futuristic world to get your teeth into. Although it seems to be aimed at a younger audience, any fan of sci-fi and space fantasy would enjoy this fast-paced, interstellar adventure.
However, I found that the first half seemed rushed and I wanted there to be more space to further develop this world and its characters. The story begins with a 13-year-old Britta before a 10 year time jump to her as a 23-year-old, yet there seemed to be very little character progression between these two versions. She still felt like an awkward teenager throughout most of the book and I found it difficult to fully invest in her or her relationships.
