Funny! Only a little too meta at the end. Definitely a reminder that main character energy is bad for your health and the health of those around you. There's an "aw-shucks" vibe to all of Scalzi's main characters that I'm beginning to grow tired of, however. #LitsySciFiBookClub

Ruthiella Agree that it got too meta in the last part. But until then, it was so much fun. I loved the “Lower Decks” feel it had, in particular. 4d
Larkken @Ruthiella I still need to watch that!! But then this book has been on my tbr for five years and I only just read it, so there‘s always hope! 2d

Ensign Dahl is newly assigned to the starship Intrepid. When he gets there, he learns that ensigns die on away missions. A lot. What he discovers will change everything about his world.

This was so meta, I strained my eyes rolling them. I also laughed harder than I have in a while, so 🤷🏼‍♀️. This poked loving fun at sci fi tv, but also turned into a moving story about taking control of your own destiny. The codas did feel unnecessary.🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

Oh dear. I‘ve been listening to this sci fi space opera/romance while falling asleep for a couple months (maybe since it was voted in for #litsyscifibookclub?) and now I‘m very wide awake after the creepy-fungal-misprints-in-the-trees interlude 😳🥶 🙉 I‘m just picturing a bunch of Last of Us monsters, anyone else from #lsfbc find this more of a heart-pounder than they thought?
Welp time to finish it in daylight and find a new bedtime story!

Butterfinger I think that image will stay with me for awhile. 2w
willaful Yikes! 2w
julesG Did not draw that parallel. ? I didn't find the book too disturbing, but as my kids tell me every day "I'm weird and wired differently". 2w

Larkken @julesG fair enough! Being half asleep may have made me overly sensitive ? I swear the audiobook narrator is great though and him doing the "hello" chorus from the dark forest really got to me! 2w
Larkken @Butterfinger maybe I shouldn't have attacked yall with it sorry 🥶 2w
Butterfinger @Larkken no, I needed to know what the show is. Lol. 2w
