4.5 stars.Oh my days THAT WAS GOOOOOD.I can't even say I really came out of that book particularly LIKING anyone in particular. It was just a damn good story, about people. People don't act like they “should” in every situation. People are flawed. Even good people. I really enjoyed the development of Miller as a character, though I wouldn't say I liked him. The battle scenes were brilliant, I'm not usually one for battle scenes, but something gripped me about these ones. When they were in dialogue, it felt like Star Trek - but better! The story itself went all over the place, and it had me hooked. Admittedly, coming out of reading [b:The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet 24956528 The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet (Wayfarers, #1) Becky Chambers https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1424178658s/24956528.jpg 42270825] to reading this, the start felt a little dry, and I wasn't sure how much I'd enjoy it. But into it I got, and thoroughly enjoyed it I did. If you like pretty sci-fi, and you don't like gritty, don't read it! Because pretty it aint. Space Vomit Zombies. Nuff said.Lost a half star, as there were points where the story dragged just a tiny bit more that I would have liked. But definitely worth a read!
