Boooooo make them fight be complex and Ariadne STOP TALKING DOWN TO ME she’s lecturing me every single page ffs lock in you four are meant to be smart this is so unrealistic. Bro starts the book with PLEASE READ THIS and saying it’s soooo important and then decides to write a book??? YOU’RE MEANT TO BE CLEVER.

Seriously this lowkey reads like a diary entry. It’s to utopian and unrealistic as well. If this wasn’t so short it would be a DNF i just, how are these lot family/coworkers/sexual partners/best friends and there’s no conflict at all. SORRY i don’t get it? mix even two of these on earth and we get so much drama but no everyone on this mission is a pacifist who LOVES science and never has any hard feelings XX

Though the one thing i like is how much these scientists care about leaving no trace and not capitalising these planets but just discovery and academia. I think it’s remarkably human and an implementer of hope!

Secondly there is awe and wonder but i just don’t care about these charecters? They just exist? We’re two planets in this is insane why do I know vague tropes and their names and that’s it. It’s a short book, at least make me care before showing me spectacles. Our main character especially is ridiculously unremarkable. Just a female protagonist.
