I have been meaning to read this for months! I put a hold on it on Libby and have put it off I don't know how many times! Next time it comes up to borrow I will! That should be in about 2 weeks.

[Hank, Hankenstein's Modster]

40 pages in and I am very much enjoying it.

[Cynda]

I have library book and the audio book here. I will start soon.

[Rick]

About to DNF it.

[Icy-Cobwebs-Crossing-SpaceTime]

I have it, definitely time to read it. Reading a Gen Ship trilogy The Ark so I'm eager to maintain this sub-sub-genre.😁

[Cynda]

Am I understanding correctly?
Science Fiction
Space
Alien
Space Opera

In about that order?

[Allison, Fairy Mod-mother]

uhh, about that? yes?

[Cynda]

The order of genres sub dividing. . . .Thanks for confirming.

[Allison, Fairy Mod-mother]

I don't think I would call it a space opera, personally, but there's some leeway there

[Cynda]

Okay thanks.

can you take out the sentence about the unexpected Mike? glad you're enjoying it! But telling people when to expect a change is indeed a spoiler ;-)

Hi Mike, I see you didn't see my comment so unfortunately I had to delete yours! I saved it to send to you but it looks like you're not accepting messages. Sorry!

So I had somehow not even heard of this recent release and it looked right up my alley. I’m only through the first chapter but I think it’s going to be a winner for me. We’ll see!

I'm at 50%. Started off very well , after about 150 pages it slowed down a bit.
