**SPOILERS AHEAD
“My friends, my dignity, my own life… and I’m free.”
A book with a slow start, fast-paced middle, and a fantastic ending. This book follows Felix, who has to take charge of the Frozen Assets ship because the captain has gone and the subsequent replacement has been injured. The initial slow start is definitely worth it because around Chapter 10 was when I started to feel the story had a nice flow and pace to it.
The hard science details added great details and intricacy to not just the world building aspect of the book, but also served the plot and the characters. Tough to keep up with at first, but by the time you get into the swing of things, all of it makes sense.
A nice little touch was the multiple points of view, and it didn’t detract from the story nor did it convolute the plot at all. I felt the multiple points of view were necessary to the overarching story. All of the points of view gave each of the main characters a spotlight to shine, and we got to learn more about their history, their internal conflict, and their personal narration. Besides Felix’s POV, Keith’s, in my opinion, was the second most important. We get to his evil motivations and allow us to gain an attachment to his character and understand there’s something more at work when we return to Felix’s perspective. Felix’s diagnosis for Keith as the villain was “too on the nose”, but Keith was still a great villain.
In short, this story was an absolute pleasure to read. This wasn’t just about solving a major crime on the ship or learning more about their employer, CryoCorp, for the next book, its overall theme was centered around Felix’s character development. This idea of brokenness, isolation, and pushing people away all were heavy themes throughout that sprouted out of Felix. More importantly, Felix develops and chooses to allow himself to be whole and complete, to bring people together for a common goal. That we are all made in the image of God.
This story is a fantastic read for Christians and non-Christians alike.
