I liked how plausible this book felt - I could really imagine things playing out the way they did, which I think is part of what kept me hooked. I also liked how intelligent the characters were, and enjoyed getting insights into their various areas of expertise. And the descriptions of Hawai’i were awesome. Definitely made me want to visit there myself. Overall, this book kept me up too late on several occasions.

This book surprised me. It started a bit slow and took a while to get into but I was drawn into the story and felt like I got to know the characters. It has left me wanting to read the next one and find out what happens. This is not a genre I usually seek out but I did enjoy reading this.

I wasn’t sure at first but found this very enjoyable. It was definitely not quite like any other sci-fi book I’ve read.
