Nadia Scrieva's Reviews > Enter Ruinland

This book was an unexpected surprise, filled with stimulating philosophy and science fiction intrigue. It did remind me of Hugh Howey’s Wool, but it was much more fast-paced, and contained interesting theological twists. The main character, Logan, is identified by the AI as having a genetic defect which does not allow him to feel emotion. He is dubbed a sociopath. He struggles with this discovery as he struggles for survival, and as a reader, your heart will go out to this poor man in his plight.
Even more so, the conflict faced by Vasquez, Logan’s pregnant lover, will tear at your heart. I found myself growing enraged at Chiron, so kudos to the author for drawing out strong emotions in the reader.
At first, the unusual punctuation of this book threw me off as I am very fond of quotation marks. However the story was so gripping that it kept pulling me in, and I was soon able to overlook the unusual style. As a lover of metaphysical sci-fi, I highly recommend this novel to anyone looking for a thought-provoking read.
