Huh. I Have mixed feelings about this.
On the ond hand, I really liked Luna. I felt myself seen in several things and it was both comforting and uncomfortable.
I wanted the "lie" to be more explored, tbh. It felt flat, that was a shame. But i really enjoyed the plot surrounding Luna and Ripley.
Ripley... I liked him. It took me a while to like him, to be honest. Specially after the 40% mark of the book. He had some issues, byt I enjoyed his backstory.
Overall, this us better than "Under Locke" but definetely not my favorite Zapata book.
