This book is an absolute, boggling, mind twisting, runaway train mess that didn't for a second go the way i expected it to. Hold on tight and enjoy the ride.

Literally whole page is so confusing to be understood. I'm questioning my reading ability big time, lol. Thus, unfortunately DNF happens.

Hope others can enjoy it more than I am though.

The ghost of Douglas Adams must have personally blessed this book. A perfect balance of humor and heart.

This one really reminded me of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and I had similar issues with it. The off the wall world building was really fun but I found the central story a little bland in comparison.

The band didn't grip me and the judgement of humanity stuff felt a little obvious. I wanted more about the sentience war and the politics between the established alien groups - that was so cool.

Este libro es como un fanfic de Eurovisión leído de carrerilla, sin parar a coger aire y puesto hasta arriba de LSD.

I bought this book back in 2019 and couldn’t get through the first two chapters and then decided to try to pick it up again in audiobook form. I had to listen to the last half of the book on 1.5x speed just to get through it.
