 got a lot more than I bargained for with this book. It is beautifully written, exciting, and genuinely creepy. Space both fascinates and terrifies me, and there is a very claustrophobic feel to the whole book that adds another dimension. This is extremely good sci-fi horror. Also, props to the author for including a sex-repulsed asexual character. This is the first such character I've encountered in fiction, and representation matters.
