Void was an enjoyable short story and my first read by Veronica Roth. As the fifth story in the Far-Reaches Collection, it stands out as a gripping “whodunnit” set in the vastness of space during a light-speed journey.

„Traveling faster than light, the transport ship Redundancy is cut off from communication as effectively as an ancient ocean liner. The isolation suits crew member Ace Vance just fine. She’s got nowhere else to be. But when a wealthy passenger turns up dead during a routine voyage, Ace will have to connect with the passengers and crew to uncover the truth. Tragedy will strike again. It’s only a matter of time.“

The writing style is engaging and easy to read, immediately pulling me into the mystery. Despite being a short story, it delivers a compelling plot and well-crafted tension. Ace, the protagonist, was a delightful character, and I found myself wishing for more time with her, perhaps in a full-length novel.

Overall, Void is a great read for anyone who enjoys mysteries with a sci-fi twist. I rated it 4 stars and look forward to exploring more of the authors works in the future.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
