Status Updates From The Last Astronaut

It’s so great!!

I’m just waiting for this melodrama to be over by now, I cannot.

When she’d seen the heart she’d known exactly what she was looking at. Oh, she couldn’t have proven it, and as a scientist she was always careful about jumping to conclusions. But she knew what she saw.
Lol what?! This is comedy gold, she’s done NOTHING but make assumptions the whole book, she’s LITERALLY doing it in this sentence!!!

This is getting ridiculous, these characters make all sorts of assumptions constantly about the alien ship and its supposed crew, not ONCE have these scientists done anything remotely sciency like, I dunno, testing or observing!

... and she realized she’d made the stupidest mistake a pilot could make. She hadn’t bothered to secure herself before the manoeuvre. Alright, but having trained professionals doing stupid things for suspense is lazy writing imo.

Trope galore.

Here’s another novel where the story is a combination of first person pov and recordings of various characters, and I find that the audio would have benefited greatly from a full cast recording, similar to Sleeping Giants. I love this writing format, but in audio it’s difficult to separate the various voices when they sound alike.

A little behind but trying to catch up on my buddy reads. Already liking how this pulls you straight into the story with no pre-ample or scene setting.

this book is rly good u guys
