on the positive side the world building, adult themes (how often do fantasy epics treat with drug addiction?), and characters are great; on the negative side there were too many inscrutable names of people and things, and the writing could be better in places - but this is the author's first, so I'm looking forward to seeing her improve in the sequel.

Both the sci-fi elements and the scientist characters are really fun and involving in this carl sagan book adaptation - but on the other hand the love interest is really annoying and the movie should’ve been 30 minutes shorter.

Maelstrom by Peter Watts

Watts’s second entry in the Rifters series doesn’t quite have the same unique magnetic characters of the first (and maybe it has slightly too many characters in general) but what it lacks in story it makes up for in prediction and world - read this to wallow in a truly terrible future dystopia that feels extremely likely.
