Outsmart Your Enemies. Outrun the Galaxy.

Tina never worries about being ‘ordinary’—she doesn’t have to, …

We're halfway through the book, why are we still putting conversions from your space clock to earth time in parentheses? I know it's YA, but your clock is already suspiciously close to earth hours and days anyway, we don't need to be reminded that a metacycle is the thinly-veiled day-analogue every time, I promise!

Like, yes, they're humans so it's technically in world to do the conversion, but it still bumps me out of the narrative, which may be because my investment is tenuous anyway. None of these emotional beats (and there have been a few!) feel earned, and they're just kinda bopping about the galaxy poking around for a macguffin. I'm bored.
