having a decent amount of fun w the story, but the writing and narrative style are bothering me a bunch at the same time. the writing is a little painfully straightforward, and the characters all act like middle schoolers with absurd amounts of power. ironically the most human character so far is the only alien we’ve met so far.

i feel like the author tries too hard to make science sound cool at every point they can. they even bring up science facts when they’re not relevant to the situation. for example, there are many references to change in artificial gravity w respect to distance from center of rotation, but sometimes this difference is on the order of feet, when the center is hundreds of feet away, during imprecise maneuvers
