Offered what I expected (fun backstory for the game). Quick yummy read, if you enjoyed the game.
Wish it was more challenging in structure or description (only reason I don't go full 5 star).

was suprised to find familiar sounding names (planet elysium, krogan scarr, human kahlee) were not really in the games so far. kinda weirds me out that each was so similar to names in the games - like this parallel universe. Don't know if this is par for the course in tie-in novels. but. don't like it. (would have preferred to find out almost every character, and place, was in the games).

Pleasing to note that the book was written by the game's lead writer.
The whole thing could be described as a sketch that was discarded (not that it is... though maybe it should be?) - and I'd still be happy to have read it.
