  1. 2/5 Karol

    Väldigt naiv berättar stil och naivt världsbygge samt naiva karaktärer. Alla huvudpersoner är på högstadienivå upp till en idealistisk 25 åring. Har några bra ideer och intressanta saker om utomjordingar, men det känns mest som "young adult", men jag har läst bättre young adult. Det är nog en bok för någon som känner sig psykiskjt instabil och behöver lindas in i sockervadd, ja det händer några spännande och till och med tankeväckande saker och någon som är älskad dör, men det är mer en bok om relationer och personlig tillväxt, än ett rafflande drama.
    När jag valde att läsa den så var jag ute efter något lättsmält och trevligt, men jag fick för mycket av det goda, prosan känns som den skrivits av en normalbegåvad 20-åring.

  2. 5/5 Natasha A

    Det här är den bästa bok som jag någonsin läst. Becky Chambers karaktärer är toksköna och man vill bara läsa mer.
