First book of the year complete!

Longer review to come, but overall I enjoyed the story and the world the author created. There were some character moments that I found rather odd and/or a bit cringey, and I found the inclusion of '80s pop culture and geek culture both enjoyable and a bit tiresome at times, but the puzzle-solving aspects were interesting and engaging. The story was action-packed, exciting, and adventurous and honestly that's all I really want out of a fun science fiction tale.

I also listened to the Audible audiobook, which I thoroughly enjoyed, and found it quite amusing that the narrator, Wil Wheaton, is also mentioned in the book.
