2023 book 126

 K.B. Wagers' The Ghosts of Trappist

I had some of the same problems with this third book as the previous one—the interpersonal relationship stuff is just soooo heavy-handed. This would have been much zippier and more fun if some of those scenes were cut down. I did like the plot in this one, which involves creepy ghost spaceships and also some business with one of the characters' robot dog, who is more developed an AI than he should be (you know I’m a sucker for an AI with feelings, and a DOG??? YES!!). I enjoyed when the characters were dealing with all that. But I felt kind of meh about the ending and was glad to be done. B/B+.
