4.5 stars. Y’all should really read this book. I went into it not knowing much, just something vague about clones and murders, but hearing that it was highly recommended. And hoo-boy did it fucking deliver. This was probably my favorite book of the year so far and I’m going to be foisting it upon people for a while.

Doesn’t matter) into space where Captain Ashby awaits here aboard the Wayfarer. He needs a new clerk and she needs to get away. Along for the ride […]
