    .....for complete and utter devastation after reading Morning Star. 😅 It's taken me over a year and a half since finishing MS for me to even contemplate continuing this journey. I think I'm prepared, but I don't think I am ACTUALLY prepared for this if anything happens like what did previously. 😬😢

    This was my second time reading this and it was just as fun the second time around. I would definitely consider this entry-level science fiction, and recommend to anyone who wants a more character-driven storyline while they are starting out with the genre. It is also a nice change of pace for seasoned readers who want a break from the heavy hitters within the genre. I have the tiniest, most insignificant critique on this though... "Perseverating" is a great word, however, it really didn't need to get used three times in a >300 page book. 😅

    I had placed this on hold last year! This year, my grandmother passed, and this book came in the week before her memorial. I think the universe knew I needed this at this precise moment. I don't think I'd have had the same lens reading this as I do right now. Going to be thinking about this one for a long time.

    I am enjoying this so much!!! I like the evolving dynamic and being completely unable to predict what challenging aspect will be thrown at Carl (and the other crawlers) next. I already know I'm going to be serving a very large plate of Upsetti Spaghetti when I complete this series because I won't want it to be over!
