 You know, for a person who claims not to like books about space, I sure have been reading a lot of books about it this year. And all I have to say is: oh well, tastes change and that Ms. Kaufman has an obsession with destroying spaceships (see review for Illuminae). Anyway, I digress. I won't lie and say that this book had me completely captivated, because it didn't. The first thirty pages were slow going and it wasn't until the Icarus crashed and Tarver and Lilac realized they were probably the only survivors that things got rather interesting.
