Station Eternity by Mur Lafferty
2.5

What makes this rating incredibly disappointing is how into this book I was at the start. I was pretty sure this was going to be a 4 or 5 star read. The premise is really interesting and I loved when we just focused on Mallory. However, this book really suffers from the fact that the author wrote from too many perspectives. We get a chapter from so many people with barely any actual room in the text to truly get to know them. It didn't feel like those chapters added tension or intrigue, which is what they are meant to do. I think if the author had focused on one or two characters it would have been a better book.

Additionally, towards the end the plot really got off the rails. I love crazy stuff happening as much as anyone but that was just chaos. Unenjoyable chaos.
