DNFed at 70 percent. I couldnt even stick out an hour & a half to listen to the rest of this story. Every moment was grueling. Not one notable character, plotline, or moment in anything I read.

I so enjoyed this! It’s not my usual genre, for some reason I can never really get into science fiction novels, but this was so interesting and unique. I loved the world building and the characters and the relationships and the suspense. 
I loved how short this was, it easily could have been longer without being annoying, but it was succinct and used the amount of pages it needed. 
And I liked the ending, with the possibility of something more. 


Thank you to Dutton Books for Young Readers and Edelweiss for the eARC.

E.K. Johnston

A thought-provoking new YA space adventure from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Star Wars: Ahsoka. Set on a family-run interstellar freighter called the Harland and a mysterious remote space station, E. K. Johnston's latest is story of survival and self-determination. Pendt Harland's family sees her as a waste of food on their long-haul space cruiser when her genes reveal an undesirable mutation. But if she plays her cards right she might have a chance to do much more than survive. During a space-station layover, Pendt escapes and forms a lucky bond with the Brannick twins, the teenage heirs of the powerful family that owns the station. Against all odds, the trio hatches a long-shot scheme to take over the station and thwart the destinies they never wished for.
