Ah. Interesting. A strangely compelling blend of western and science fiction. At first, it’s one of those classic stranger-with-no-name and a gun--comes-to-town situations. But then the town is outer space and a remote one at that, not used to strangers, so that’s already different. Or maybe not. Frontier is frontier be it wild wild west or space, the final…
Anyway, the stranger is on then mission to get back to the love of her life, left behind…somewhere. The stranger needs communication devie to send a message but the two’s tech leaves a lot to be desired. And then, the stranger gets embroiled in the local goings on which is a mess, because of course it is. And then, the narrative rotates and rotates like a spaceship in a screwed up gravity field and the narrative flips around from person to person and that’s a different kind of mess too. Disclaimer: to be fair, I read this novel on a very, very sleepy day, so some of the plot confusion might have been of my own making/perception. Be that as it may, the novel read kind of all over the place, but it was so well written, so interesting, with such engaging characters, that you kind of end up going along for the ride and enjoying it. Solid world building too. So yeah, fun was had. Thanks Netgalley
