Summary

They slept for hundreds of years, dreaming of a new home in the Andromeda galaxy. When finally they awake, their dreams of peace are shattered. These colonists - turian, salarian, asari, human, and more - face an uncharted galaxy and threats beyond understanding.

The Nexus is the core from which the colonists will explore their new home. Yet even before the arks arrive, the massive space station sustains critical damage. The entire mission is placed in jeopardy, and security director Sloane Kelly must reassert order while racing to identify the nature of the threat that faces them.

If she fails, the Andromeda Initiative could crumble.

Just not very interesting

I really enjoyed the mass effect trilogy but haven't yet played andromeda, after this book I am in no rush. The characters were unlikable the story didn't really go anywhere and there was little reference to the larger mass effect universe other than the species involved (and then only four of them)

Must read if you've played the game

Sloane, addison, tann, you understand all that happened before the game starts. Makes me want to play it through again and maybe make some different decisions.

Great insight into Andromeda lore

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book, but I would say that it assumes you know a little about the Mass Effect universe before you start which could be an issue for anyone unfamiliar with the games. It gives you a really good insight into the hardships suffered before the beginning of the games and an understanding of some of the cynicism shown by a lot of the characters within the game.
The story moves fairly rapidly, and as such descriptions of locales and people/aliens seem a little rushed, again this is not a problem if you are familiar with the games but could be an issue for anyone attempting to read this as a standalone.

Only for enthusiasts

If you're a big fan of Mass Effect Andromeda then this will help fill in the gaps of what happened prior to the game, but it's far from being a particularly good book. The pacing is slow and ponderous. You're better off reading a plot summary.

The reading was generally good and it was nice touch that they used the same VA that played female Ryder in the game.

Not my taste, but ...

Not my taste, but nicely performed story about a short uprising and mistakes of the leaders. Not very realistic people in this book though. Do you really go to a colonization attempt and think it is a joyride without any deaths and injuries and discomfort at all?

Good intro to Andromeda, and well read.

Good intro to Mass Effect Andromeda, and well read. It's good to know a bit of the back story behind some of the characters that you meet in the game.

Fantastic

For someone who has played mass effect Andromeda the book helps you appreciate the game more and has made me look at certain characters in a new light

not too bad

There was a lot in the book that irritated the crap out of me. The reading by Frydda Wolff was very well done, and she made Spender's smarminess apparent, and having me want to pulverise him. Although she did call him Spencer a couple of times.

The problem was in the writing, and the difference between the history that was told in the book compared to that in the game. I can't go into details because of spoilers, but there were some glaring differences. also, the repetition of things that had been said before, like a "don't forget this happened in the Milky Way" ... "you haven't forgotten this happened in the Milky Way".

On the whole, it told the story not too badly of the uprising. It's just a shame we didn't hear Kesh refer to Tann as "Eight".

This is my opinion of this book.
