I'd originally downloaded this because I wrongfully assumed it was a graphic novel, which is on me for assuming. Then I put off reading it for a long time, because I honestly wasn't super interested in it anymore. I did want to give this a fair shot though, but I could quickly tell this was not going to be for me. The writing and format weren't my thing at all, so even though it's a short read, I found myself zoning out as it was hard to follow along with the writing. Because of this, I decided to DNF.

Constelis Vos by K. Leigh is a sci-fi adventure featuring a large cast of characters. Our story starts with Alex, a newly awaken AI with the brain of a man from 1990s. As the story progresses, Alex collects all his friends from the 90s future doubles. This is the first book in the series so I’m curious to see why this group of friends are either reborn or placed into this far future on a planet sized space ship. While collecting his friends, Alex is also trying to over throw Tyr, the evil leader of the ship.

I really enjoyed the concept of this book—it was cool seeing all the characters come together and rediscovering themselves. Leigh is also really great at writing descriptions and creating imagery. I did find the book a bit confusing, which I think was mostly purposeful, and I would have liked more worldbuilding in the future setting.

I like that this book examines social issues, which is an important aspect of writing and literature. It was interesting that someone from that 1990s was booted into an Android. As far as the science fiction part, it wasn't compelling or new as a concept. That isn't to say it wasn't good, but it wasn't my cup of tea. There are other science fiction authors that have written similar novels about society, minorities, and class systems, but I preferred them to this novel. This is more recent and in the wake of some tumultuous changes in the world, which is good for people studying social changes and viewpoints.
