I really enjoyed the way this started with a totally new perspective: a child who's spent most of her life on a planet in another solar system(Laconia), completely cut off from the Earth-Mars-Outer Planet societies. Using that perspective gave a whole other angle to the oft-used innocent child perspective.
The story then starts to give the vibe of Pet Semetary with Aliens, and I was beginning to worry that the seemingly never-ending originality of James S.A. Corey had peaked. Of course, I was wrong. One should realise after reading the last six books and novellas that if there's one thing Corey never lacks, it's originality.
I can't wait to see how Laconia ties in to the series!
