Axiom's End

This book is a bit messy, but not in a terrible way. It shows the sign of a promising new author finding their voice, and the strong plot makes it easy to forgive the slow start and under-defined protagonist. I look forward to the sequel, because this is the first time in a long time I'm genuinely excited to see where a series goes just in terms of plot. Hopefully the next book will be less bare-bones, and flesh out not only the alien worldbuilding, but also the smaller details of Cora's life, to make her feel more, well, human.
