Hostile Takeover

Kirsten Simkiss

This book is just wholly unsatisfying. I DNFed this book at page 100 because, honestly, nothing has happened. While I don’t dislike the main character, I don’t like her either. The side characters are either surly or shifty and not fun to read about. Plus, the cover art is completely inaccurate to the book. The main character is an auditor and basically info dumps how society works for the first 100 pages.

I did appreciate the nod to Star Trek, but this just isn’t a great book. I don’t recommend it.
