I pretty much loved this book. The story was really good. Given the standard miserable quality of most sci-fi, this is more of a compliment than it sounds. I genuinely looked-forward to each listening session with this audio book. It was a real pleasure.
Despite one big logic trench, about earth time passing vs. evolutionary time, the whole thing held together quite well. I mean in 800 years, not much can evolve. But the character development was incredibly good. Emotionally engaging, no real heroes, no real villains. Just survival and hard choices.
It would be a shame if this book didn’t get an award for something.
