Dead Space

Lots of fun sci-fi and murder-mystery tropes were twisted around in some surprising ways. A solid sci-fi story with some casually queer and non-binary representation. I'll definitely check out some more of Wallace's books.

Well, that was a ride! I really love this novel. I think sometimes the detail with which the events are described is a little too much, but overall the premise and the story was really fun, and I really enjoyed it.
I do wish. Perhaps the author had explored more about being main characters double standard on AI. I also wish. Maybe the ending had an epilogue or something to kind of tie it often. Let us know what happened to Hester afterwards.
I overall highly recommend this book for an adventure and sci-fi .

A really solid space station mystery with asteroid mining, industrial espionage, space terrorism, AIs and mech suits. It very much feels like it belongs to the Expanse universe with its cast of Belters, Martians and Earthers, and its pragmatic space world that is made of metal, money and corporations.

I do have to say that the big plot reveal has been telegraphed from a a mile away. And either the audiobook narrator overdid the emotional voices, or possibly I would have enjoyed the writing more if it hadn't been set in the first-person perspective.

Still, very plot-driven and good entertainment.

A fun murder mystery set on a creepy space station. If you like cute AIs - like ART from Murderbot - and the light corporate dystopia of the Expanse series this is for you!

I liked the more science-y parts of it, whenever there was a flashback to the MCs past, whenever they talked about the technical stuff. I liked the world introduced, I liked the main characters situation... I didn't care for any of the mystery or “action” in the book, though I couldn't tell you why.
