Erin Crane's Reviews > This World Is Not Yours

The first half of this was not looking good, but it did pick up in the last third or so. This is a SF horror/thriller/drama that focuses on a couple living on a space colony. The couple run into some relationship strain in the midst of a colony crisis, and things fall apart from there.

The whole scenario for the relationship drama felt bizarre and extreme to me. Like why would this level of upheaval be necessary to achieve the colony’s goal? I don’t know. It did end up mattering in the end, so I liked it more for what it did for the story at that point. Still doesn’t make a lot of sense to me though.

I also felt like the characters and people of the colony didn’t always react as much as seemed appropriate for the dire circumstances. They’re quite chill and calm and unfazed. The tone felt off.

I liked the ending! Dark and weird.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.
