Is it just me, or did Hitomi get shafted in the epilogue? Now before I post some of my thoughts, I apologize for the massive flood of notifications you're about to get. You can blame Chapter 8 for that as once I started reading, I couldn't stop. And that highlights my favorite part about this novel, the middle. Chapter 8 marks the start of an epic space opera, which keeps delivering thrilling chapter after chapter, until the final few chapter that is.

The summary heavy chapters really did feel a bit too bloated, and while I'm all for giving summaries of events that happened, it needs to be done in a more organic and less bloated way. Though I honestly feel the revelation that Green Dawn had been off-screened felt a bit underwhelming. Them seizing power could have set the stage for a far more interesting ending as now the crew would have to take refuge in Yugoslavia.

Nonetheless, this was a thrilling read overall. The biggest praise I have is easily for the characters as their personalities made things really engaging. Hitomi's backstory in particular I feel is actually the crowning jewel of the story as it gives so much insight to her character and elevates her to best girl status immediately.

Congratulations on finishing this novel, and good luck with the contest.

This one was much better than the previous chapters. Still a bit bloated, but much more engaging.

I get things are in epilogue mode, but things really do feel very summary heavy.

Hmm, not sure how I feel about this summary chapter. I feel it easily could have been shortened into a paragraph or two.

Really good chapter. I can kind of understand why Brigham didn't feel a thing; this wasn't the Curro he knew he just sentenced to death, this was a yandere maniac who was willing to harm others just to be alone with him. Now the question remains how things will wrap up.

Surprised the prosecution didn't try to argue Curro was a yandere. That would likely swing the case heavily in their favor. I guess Ana did briefly make the point, but further elaborating on it would have really shifted the tides towards them.

This was a long one. Not gonna lie, it did feel a bit bloated at times, especially since Curro was the only one doing the talking.

I'd be lying if I said I didn't suspect Curro at all. He's had some sus moments here and there.

Of course there's Nazis in space. There's always Nazis in space. Props to Roy for finding a legal loophole though.
