I found this to be a really fun, quick story with a slight philosophical view about cloning and what it really means to be someone. I liked that the main story was broken up with interjections about the universe in which these characters live in and how the actions of others indirectly and directly affect the lives of the people we were reading about. Also it was just fun to read some (basic) world building. I also enjoyed reading the more science-y parts of this and being like "oh I know about that!" Also how it didn't bog down the story with too much science descriptions.

A few things I didn't like too much involved the lack of involvement with the native alien species on the planet they are inhabiting. They spend time talking about them, but hardly any time at all engaging with them in any meaningful way. Also the ending was just very quick and convenient, almost as if Ashton wasn't sure of to resolve the conflict. Because of this, I found that it took way from the overall message that the story was trying to convey. As well at the characters themselves having slightly too much of a "dudebro" attitude when it came to feelings. For a book that was touching on some decent philosophical questions it failed to go any deeper than surface level.

Overall, it was fun and quick and I had a few laughs. I ultimately can't wait to watch the movie adaptation now.
