It also wasn't prevalent to the point of breaking immersion or making me lose track of the events that were taking place.Īnother notable thing is that the perspective was third person omniscient (or, at least, felt like that to me), with the narrator knowing what’s going on inside each character’s heads. It did have an interesting mixture of languages (to create this futuristic space jargon) that was almost imposible to understand (at least the parts that weren't in Spanish) but added a nice flair to the story. The prose was nothing spectacular it was easy to understand but it wasn't the most beautiful or impactful I've read. There was always enough that the story was interesting to read throughout and once you started it was difficult to stop but not so much that there wasn't any time to process and take a breather. Like many modern stories, it's character-based (which isn't a bad thing).Ī thing that was well handled was the tension. That said, its themes aren't the driving factor within the narrative. Set in a feasible future, this story explores themes like humanity's tendency to fight amongst each other as well as the forming of social groups and societies. This Solar System based epic sci-fi follows two characters a middle-age cop (Miller) and a spaceship captain (Holden) as the weak balance in power dynamic breaks, leading to drastic consequences.
