Welcome to Litsy!

A soft pick, since it's a good story with a lot of research done. Thompson knows how to tell a story and to keep the reader entertained. But to me it was a bit too much of everything and the scenes change too fast and too often, so I got lost while reading. The story could've used a little more pace as well.
I loved the new way sci-fi is going and Tade Thompson for sure is an important writer for this new path. I'm curious to read more by him.

The audiobook for this one is a little difficult to follow so I had to check out the e-book, too, to make sure I was catching the details. I enjoyed the first half more than the second, and the ending is unsatisfying to me, but overall I found this book to be a very interesting take on both a mystery and a space/sci-fi novel.

An incredible locked-room sci-fi mystery set on a spaceship. When second-in-command Shell Campion wakes from 10 years of hypersleep, she discovers the ship's AI captain has malfunctioned and 30-odd passengers are dead. Who killed them? And why? The first half is tighter than the second but still an overall excellent read.

The book was really great . I disliked the narrator a lot and I almost quit because of it. I found him monotonous. Get the book, skip the audiobook. The story is a great mystery/science fiction combo

Finished the tagged book. A space adventure turns deadly.

Also made it to water pilates this morning and did laundry.

What a ride this was! Short chapters, multiple povs, with a plot that moved along at breakneck speed made it hard to put this down! While the ending was a little abrupt,there is room for a sequel, though this books story arc is complete at the end. Though there were a few plot points that were confusing/unnecessary, I enjoyed reading this too much to truly care. The world is fascinating and I enjoyed the characters, particularly Shell and Salvo.

It‘s finally my weekend! I‘m hoping to finish the tagged book at the very least and make some progress on one of my #bookspin/doublespin options. I‘m not going to be super ambitious because I‘m getting my booster shot tomorrow and I got really ill with the 2nd dose. Fingers crossed I don‘t get nearly as sick this time and can get some reading in. @Andrew65

Ahhh!! What can I say? This was a phenomenal book. Shell was a beautifully written character and I hope there is a sequel. If you‘re interested in space travel, this is the one! #freyarecommends #reader #farfromthelightofheaven

I am so close to completion! I‘ll be leaving a recommendation soon! #freyarecommends #reader #writer #scifi

Spending a c h i l l y morning cozied up with a good book. #farfromthelightofheaven #tadethompson #scifi #space #girlpower #freyareccomends

Though I tend to gravitate more to the fantasy side over science fiction, I have heard good things about Thompson‘s writing & I really can‘t resist a locked room mystery! This futuristic space-scape hooks the reader right away with originality, strong characters & enough commentary on the landscape of today to make this a great discussion starter without seeming like it‘s being shouted from a soapbox. I‘m eager to checkout the Rosewater trilogy!
