Summary
Yanked from cryo to join a crew of modded humans in deep space? Daisy's life just got a whole lot more complicated.
As if nearly burning up in a freak accident on her way to Earth wasn't bad enough, Daisy had a whole mess of other trouble on her plate. Big trouble. And she was going to get to the bottom of it if it was the last thing she'd do, which it was starting to look like it very well might be.
The thing is, Daisy had a simple rule for space travel. Don't blow up, and so far she'd been managing to abide by that, but mere survival wasn't enough.
With the powerful AI supercomputer guiding the craft beginning to show some disconcerting quirks of its own, and its unsettling cyborg assistant nosing into her affairs, Daisy's unease was rapidly growing, as was her bigotry toward artificially intelligent beings. Add to the mix a crew of mechanically enhanced humans, any one of whom she suspected might not be what they seemed, and Daisy found herself with a sense of pending dread tickling the periphery of her mind.
Something was very much not right, she could feel it in her bones. The tricky part now was going to be overcoming her biases and figuring out what the threat was, before it could manifest from a mere sinking feeling in her gut into a potentially deadly reality. Only things were quite different and much worse than she could ever have imagined, forcing her to repeatedly adjust and overcome a reality that turned out to be far from what it had originally seemed. And it was looking like Daisy wouldn't have to save only herself, but the entire planet Earth in the process.

spoilers: the bad. this book deals and relies on time travel, heavily. meaning it has absolutely no stakes what so ever. it's the same problem all time travel books have of, why shoukd anything bad be capable of happening when characters can go back and fix things. on top of that this series has a serious problem just letting characters die. it feels like the righter did literal backflips to bring back characters from the dead, literally from the dead in some cases, just so the audience would be surprised. the first time, it's awsum, the second, third, fourth and fifth times, it's annoying. it's like right, no one has actually died from the get go. I honestly started to he surprised when characters didn't make miraculous come backs. on top of all that verry smart characters annoyingly do verry stupid things, frequently. a prime example being how daisy, a God damn genius mc giver han solo type by any standard, wakes up a god tier AI and despite multiple warning both before and after, proceeds to leave it alone where it could potentially go mad. the problem is despite all this foreshadowing nothing bad ever comes from it, the ai just becomes some sort of malevolent teenage guardian that's super chill and loves everyone. stuff like that coupled with the fact that THEY HAVE A GOD TIER AI TO LITERALY FIX ALL OF THERE PROBLEMS ALL THE TIME kinda takes away from anything the real characters actually do. it's like "oh yeah thers a virus, I cured it. Theirs a computer virus to that destroys every machine it touches? cured that to. time travel? nailed that down in like 3 attempts but i could never figure out how to safely let a fellow AI loos without any way of securing it on the mild off chance its a phychopath. there are just a lot of plotlines that really detract from how bad ass the main charactes are supposed to be and don't really make sence when thought about. annoyingly a lot of things are set up that aren't followed up on, characters being handed or developing unique and OP weapons, like they go on and on aboit this rage powered whip athletes thing but then it only gets used like a handful of times. like literally al the amaising weapons she gets just sort of get left to wayside becous the end of the books takes place entirely in or aboard ships there is no hand to hand combat. part of me felt like daily was meant to fight the alien queen hand to hand and then at the last minute the idea was dropped in place of yet more time travel stuff.
spoilers: the good, the actual plot was relatively original, the twists were interesting and sometimes fun. the characters you were meant to hate, you hated, the characters you were meant to love you couldn't help but love. it was funny, it was clever when it wasn't being dumb and it amaisingly managed to show an actual progression and evolution of advanced technologies between 3 or 4 relatively technological similar species. like riding a bike in the dark, it's fun if you dont think about it.
the good made up for the bad, mostly
