Anderson Mays for the win

I enjoyed this story, and I think this was an excellent first Novella in the new series. But honestly, it’s the most for me is Anderson Mays’ narration. If it is an expanse or an expanse, adjacent audiobook, it has to be narrated by Anderson Mays. He brings the life to these characters as much, so if not more than, the pages do.

Captured my attention despite being a short listen

I loved how they managed to compress a complete story into this shorter work. The livesuit idea is fascinating and they play with it in several ways. It echoes other books like "Old Man's War" but has a unique feel, particularly since it leverages the aliens developed in the prior book (The Mercy of Gods) and it goes deep into biology and the grim details of the war and the combatants on both sides. I did not regret spending an entire credit on this shorter listen, and that's high praise.

Beautiful

This was beautifully written and heartbreaking. A great addition to this series. Four and a half stars.

Really terrifying.

The writing and prose is great. The main character name Kirin was also likable and relatable. But the ending was both shocking and haunting at the same time. I might never forget. I give this novella 5 stars.

The suits

I disliked the length it should’ve been longer lol
This was a great story in my opinion can’t wait for the future titles
