DNF. It was such a struggle to get to page 100 but after every reading session I still wasn't sure what I just read.
I'm sad I'm done reading.
I've really enjoyed this book. It's somewhere between the Martian (which is the best) and Artemis. The plot was very surprising to me and I liked the little plot twists here and there. I'd like to see this made into a movie!
I found the story mostly boring and confusing. Too many names and titles, barely any descriptions of systems and people.
I read the ebook for 70% before I finally was done with the extreme arrogance and entitlement of the writer. I just couldn't handle it anymore. She just keeps repeating how amazing she is, and how much she excels at everything. How dare a royal give her a signature? That was the last drop.

I stopped when reading chapter 9 and I have no idea what happened. Even though I have no doubts this is an amazing book (hence the *** star rating) I just couldn't get through it. The hard science was too... sciency. I was buddy reading this with a friend and she was able to interpret the texts I was struggling to understand, even after reading them for about nine times. Due to the struggle to understand everything, I was unable to build a relationship with the characters and the built environment.
