A new blockbuster science fiction adventure from world-wide phenomenon and #1 New York Times bestseller Christopher Paolini, set in the world of New York Times and USA Today bestseller To Sleep in a Sea of Stars. July 25th, 2234: The crew of the Adamura discovers the Anomaly. On the seemingly uninhabited planet Talos VII:a circular pit, 50 kilometers wide. Its curve not of nature, but design. Now, a small team must land and journey on foot across the surface to learn who built the hole and why. But they all carry the burdens of lives carved out on disparate colonies in the cruel cold of space. For some the mission is the dream of the lifetime, for others a risk not worth taking, and for one it is a desperate attempt to find meaning in an uncaring universe. Each step they take toward the mysterious abyss is more punishing than the last. And the ghosts of their past follow.

I got strong Andy Weir vibes from this (maybe emo Weir). This is ultimately a story about grief couched in a sci-fi setting but I think it worked well. Like the characters, I felt oddly compelled to tear through this one.
Fractal Noise was 3.5 ⭐s for me. Loved diving back into the world of the Fractalverse.
This story gave me a sense of dread and anxiety about the story's past and unknown of the future for our characters.
The inner dialogue of the main character was hard to read in a good way as it dealt with real world issues of deep loss and existential pain.
THUD
I enjoy this for the bit of detail it gave about the universe. It's an interesting enough character story, but I'm not sure how much I really recommend it, and if you're not already a fan of the series than I'm not sure it'll do much for you.
