Let me say from the start that this book is less about aliens and more about the human condition - about grief and death and also life and what drives us to move forward.
That said, in my opinion the best sci-fi stories are exactly about that: humans and humanity. I have not yet read Paolini's other book in the FractalVerse that comes chronologically after this book, but it did not matter for this. Usually I write a paragraph about the quality of the audiobook at the end, but here for me the production of this did a lot to keep me at the edge of my seat. Every thud thud THUD is an audio effect, and every time I got goosebumps and feared more for our protagonists. Jennifer Hale's intense narration of this journey is just perfect and I could not stop listening. I also loved that the appendix was included in the audiobook as well, giving more information for this world. The book is about the internal and literal journey of four scientists towards an alien artefact. It focuses on Alex who still grieves the loss of his wife. With four very different persons who have to work as a team, despite not being one at all, conflict is unavoidable. I'm not going to talk much more about it, just read for yourself. It's worth it, and it's not a long book. I assume if I want to dive deeper into the mystery of the alien artefact, I'll have to read To Sleep in a Sea of Stars, which I'm now fully intending to do. 4/5 stars Thank you so much @netgalley and @macmillan.audio for the eARC!
