Yes, I know, lack of details means you can imagine something more epic on your own, blah blah blah… I totally get that. Another small problem I had with the writing is the sometimes lack of details we got from the author. Finally, towards the end I was just yelling “ OMG!! SHUT UP AND GET OVER IT ALREADY!!!!! 😡 ” at him all the time.

I liked him at first but he just became more childish as the book went on. Another main character, Alan, very angsty and became very whinny towards the end. Jane wasn’t the only character that I had problems with.

Yes, she had some doubt and fear, but it just seemed like she was a little bit too amazing with her abilities and backstory. For starters, the main character, Jane, was a little too perfect. I did have a few small problems with the writing though. There were plenty of interesting things that went on and she definitely had me hooked with the story. She could write a gripping plot, that is for sure. I have never read anything from this author before, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. So when this book was picked for a group read for one of my groups on Goodreads, I was super excited! The plot sounded uber up my alley! I couldn’t wait to begin!

The history of space travel, future plans for space travel, exploration of the planets and stars, searching for other signs of life… all of it. I find the subject of space very fascinating.
