Hmmmm...well, this was a bit of a let down if I'm being honest. It felt like a convoluted mess - I really didn't like Katherine, the prose of the book was markedly different I felt, and the pacing was poor.

The conversations were very king and drawn out. Especially the ones taking place on the alien planet. They were very one sided at times due to the use of the alien language, which I personally found irritating and it really disturbed the flow of the book.

I did like the epilogue, so I suppose that's something 🤷‍♀️
