pickOverall, I liked this. There were times when the different threads of genre didn't quite mesh, and I think it's a little long. Additionally, the narrator's voice was sometimes too flat. Maybe that was on purpose.
Good things: the mystery, the main characters (with the exception of Greg; shut up, Greg), and the space opera parts.

so-soI thought 3/4 of the book was terrific, but the resolution lost me somewhat.
Mmmm just what I want in a space opera: character driven, adventure and banter. Bonus: a scorching love scene in the first few pages! 😊😍👍
Thank you so so much to @Hooked_on_books !! This is such an amazing present! I've been eyeing these books on my amazon wish list and am so excited to read them! And all the cute things from your town are awesome! I adore the Pacific Northwest and am excited to color and use the bookmarks! Thank you!!
And of course thank you to the wonderful @BookishMarginalia for organizing the #secretsantagoespostal #wintersolsticebookexchange!!
Still working my way through the books I have to read for the #NYCC panel I'm moderating in October.
"Don't yell at me... I didn't bite you!" Snark, sexuality and spaceships! Loving The Cold Between and its faceted, complicated and believable characters.
bailedOkay, this...just isn't working. It's not a BAD book, but it's just not engaging me very much right now. Might be the headspace I'm in atm. Anyway, setting this aside before I get too frustrated with it. Might go back to it when I'm in a better mood for it.
Especially since this particular trope is applied to women and powerful men. Love seeing the shoe on the other foot for once XD.
Hrrrrrrr, rather close to bailing on this. Will just put it aside for now and focus all my attention on McCarty's The Saint, then pick it up again afterwards. Maybe this needs a soundtrack to save it? Let's see if that works. *goes to track down the Mass Effect OSTs*
Yeah, preemptively yelling at people ain't gonna solve much, Captain. But then again, you always did tend to react a little irrationally around this particular person, so.
Ohhhh, but that's nice. Very nice indeed - and it's not in the least bit romantic.
Not entirely sure what to think of the first few chapters, but now Big Things have happened and I am much more interested now :D.
pickI could not put this down, and I wished it were twice as long so I could keep reading.
