Absolutely loved it! I bought this book thinking that I wouldn’t enjoy it as much because this isn’t a genre I’d normally read, but I’m so happy I gave it the chance I did. I loved it! It kept my attention the whole time and I didn’t want to put it down. The characters were amazing. I loved all of them. The story was well written and I’m excited to read the next one when it comes out.

★★★★★
An engaging SciFi escapism. The story is well written, entertaining and engaging. It’s fast paced and packed with action without neglecting character development. I dive in with the expectation that this is a simple military sci-fi because of the cover of the man in a spacesuit but I would best describe it as star trek/cowboy bebop meets sword art online.

Fun SciFi read! I thoroughly enjoyed this book. This is a fun space adventure that dips into a different reality than the one we are in. It has interesting world building and social interactions. I recommend it for a fun light read! (Just be prepared to want to read the next book once it’s released!)
