Excuse my tardiness again. This was yesterday's book, but I had to review it today. My husband took me on a surprise road trip north yesterday! So today is a twofer again.
Alright then.
No. I'm sorry, but no. And I am so sad to say that.
You are aware of my love for the Illuminae trilogy (two are reviewed here; the first I read for Nutmeg 2018...I think I can say that now). Amie Kaufman was one of two authors on that trilogy, so I had ridiculously high hopes for this, but I just did not feel the same magic. Perhaps my hopes were too high.
A dying race sends directions to their planet into space. Good people and bad of course race to stake claims on what promises to be vast riches and perhaps a way to save Earth. Think the movie version of Doom (starring The Rock) meets Indiana Jones meets Independence Day. The plot was OK. It was the characters I really didn't care for in truth. I found Amelia and Jules to be incredibly annoying. I didn't really care if they lived or died. I kinda started rooting for the aliens, like how we all root for the sharks in Deep Blue Sea. And the ending leaves things open for a sequel.
So now that I'm doing the video reviews, this is one that won't featured.
