The Farthest Star

Dull.

TL;DR

A decent read, main problem is I didn't like the protagonist. I really don't like quirky, goofy always trying to be funny characters and that's exactly what we're dealing with here. The story was interesting and I did like the whole ship full of robots. It reminded me of a game called "NieR: Automata".

My Scoring System

I have five things I look for in a book, if the book checks all five it's a 5/5 stars book, if it checks none it's a 1/5 stars and everything else is a combination:

✓ - Main Story: I liked it, all the different robots and areas in the ship were cool to visualize and read about.

✓ - Side Stories (if it applies): I enjoyed reading about Kaydee's backstory, I found her an interesting character.

✓ - Characters: Pretty much every character except our main protagonist was great. Even the evil robots that we fight.

✓ - Setting/Ambiance: The whole story is in a ship composed of different areas and they were all interesting and cool to go though.

X - Ending: Wasn't anything spectacular but it didn't ruin the story. Average in my opinion.

Extensive Review

Our main protagonist is a vessel that it's purpose is to be filled with a mind, at the beginning we meet The Librarian, which will be our mind, a few pages later he gets killed and we get a different one called Kaydee. I don't understand the purpose of The Librarian. I guess it was so that our mind can have access to his memories and explain why he can do some stuff...

The important thing is that at least Kaydee is a cool character and I like her. This would have been a rough read if it were just our main protagonist alone.

Later on we will meet Delta, if this book had Delta as our protagonist with Kaydee as her mind it would be a way better story I have no doubt about that.

The side characters we meet along the way were interesting and the hacking part that the vessels and robots do was interesting. A nice story overall, wish we had Delta as our main girl but alas...
