Four Bodies in Space
by Luna Harlow

3/5 Stars


This Story is a super short, super fast read!
It is more of a novella than a book IMHO.
The story centers on a psychically gifted alien character named Solaris.
Solaris is a science officer on an older, but elegant ship.
They are transporting members of another species than ar unable to communicate verbally, and mayhem ensues (no spoilers).

Solaris herself was well-written, as was maybe one or 2 other characters, however there were a lot of characters, and many of them were not well developed given the brevity of the book. Many also had very generic names like Richards and Johnson, and it was hard for me to distinguish them, and remember who was who.

I also felt that for a book about space and being in space there was very little descriptive language about the beauty of space, the starts, the darkness, the velvet deep, etc.  Not enough attention was given to the backstory of the main character for me, sometimes we hear about the beauty of the home world, etc.,  but not here.

So I think there is room to round this out more, and make it a better book, but maybe that is planned for future volumes, as this is marked Volume 1.
I did like how quickly the action moved, and how decisive some of the characters were. 
Thanks to NetGalley for a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. My opinions are my own
