What I liked
✅ this book destroyed me emotionally; I have no words which I wish to use which can describe it
✅ "hard" sci-fi; space, technology and aliens and central to the plot and attention is paid to the details
✅ fully-realised, well-developed characters who drive the plot and make realistic decisions which break your heart
✅ philosophical and thoughtful, filled with great morals and a great message of redemption
✅ well-paced plot with plenty of mystery
✖ your expectations will ruin this novel — don't go in thinking this will be anything like Ender's Game, a children's or young adult novel, or a fast-paced sci-fi shoot-up
