I thought this was a fun lil story. I wanted it to go a lil further than it did or even different places but that's just my own projections onto an interesting world.

For such a deep subject and the amount of awful things that happen it's odd that I would leave this feeling that it was a light story. It was well paced and definitely kept me interested the whole way through. I've never read this author before but will definitely be looking at his other works. I think he did a great job at making the science easily digestible.

I really liked Kara right off the bat and was sad we didn't  get much time with her and the way things go. It was jarring to see that there was no room for even a little discussion and just automatically went to trying to kill each other. Which I see is part of the point to begin with. I liked the story we got I just also want a different one. And perhaps it's because I rarely read a male pov, but I really gravitated towards her and wanted more.  Even though I thought she was being way too quick to pull the trigger on releasing this thing and nothing was going to get in her way and there was no room for even a brief discussion about anything. And perhaps that's my issue here, I wanted her to be different, to make better choices or at least just be reasonable about it.
