I finished Velocity Weapon by Megan E. O’Keefe. When Sergeant Sanda Greeve’s ship is blown up by the enemy, she wakes up 230 years later to find she is the sole occupant of an experimental ship belonging to that same enemy. This simple elevator pitch belies just how topsy turvy this book is. At several points the story genuinely did not go in the direction I thought it would which was a nice surprise! The story follows Sanda Greeve, her brother Biran and a couple of other people (spoilers) in a Space Opera that deals with the consequences of an interplanetary war and an ongoing dark conspiracy. Without spoiling too much, the perspective and time frame changes throughout this book so as to build a richer tapestry of this universe. There were a couple of times I felt like I wanted to get through certain characters’ chapters quickly to get back to anothers’ story but the chapters are fairly short and punchy anyway. Plus, in retrospect, the chapters I pushed to get through always had a decent payoff in the end so it was rewarding to read this book in many ways. I was given this book by a friend and I’m so glad they recommended it to me. It was a little heartbreaking to find out that it’s the first of a trilogy, though, when my tbr pile is so big! #bookstagram #books #scifi #velocityweapon #meganeokeefe @orbitbooks_uk @orbitbooks #orbitbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CknT7NYME-q/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
