it was ok
bookshelves: 0-audiobooks, sci-fi, mystery-thriller, dystopian

I appreciate the idea and the level of research behind this story, but sadly it failed to grab me like the other two books I've read by this author, Dark Matter and Recursion.

The beginning was really strong and seemed promising, but at some point the story took a direction I didn't anticipate and, what's more important, wasn't comfortable with. The rest of the storyline didn't work so well for me, nor the resolution at the end.

The middle part was slow and at times it seemed like nothing was happening. The story is very science-heavy, but more in a way that felt info-dumpy to me. It didn't help that I found Logan hard to connect with and, as the story progressed, quite unlikable.

The audiobook is really good, though.

You're welcome. 😊 This book seems to be either a hit or miss for most readers, so who knows? Maybe you'd enjoy it more than I did. 😉 Looking forward to see what you think of Recursion, whenever you decide to read it!
