My partner blew through this 9 book series so fast that I had to give it a shot.
Mystery, intrigue, emotions, trauma, twists and turns. This book has it all!
I couldn't out it down!

Very good. I liked the world building. There are obvious parallels to current society and our relationship with technology. It wasn’t too heavy handed though. There was a little humor which kept it from being too dark.
It ends before the story is over. Since it is free, I don’t mind.

A little slow at times, but pretty entertaining! A bit sparse on reveals and twists, but it's a long series I guess. I like the characters of Noa (though rolled my eyes a bit when I saw the second book is called Noa's Ark) and James. There's clearly a lot more to be done with them in later books. Possible trigger warning for the end, there is a toddler in peril
and then nobody mentions her death directly??. The end was pretty exciting though! Hoping the rest of the series has more of that kind of action.
Spoiler
he makes it fine but his mother dies..and then nobody mentions her death directly??

Um regime fundamentalista lutando contra tecnologia e invasão alienígena, uma ideia interessante.

The premise is interesting. The execution, not so much.
The mystery around James is intriguing, Eliza and 6T9 are refreshing, the world building is okay-ish. The rest is quite average.
On another note, the ref to Noah's Ark totally flew over my tired head until I see the sequel name *facepalm*

It is always nice to stumble upon a book you really enjoy reading and keeps you coming back constantly to continue reading. I won't say it didn't have any issues, but I was able to ignore the issues to keep reading the book.
One of those problems is the lack of explanation into the title of the book. It is obviously the main mystery of the series, and meant to keep you reading to understand it. Though I do wish a bit more was shown about it or explained, cause as it stands it felt like it didn't really matter much till the final section of the book.
Characters were enjoyable and unique, with some conflicts and internal issues they work through. Though I wouldn't say they all grow very much in the book. Noa I don't feel like changed much by the end of the book, she very much feels like the same person who started the book. James on the other hand changed a fair amount after everything happened with him, and the questioning of who/what he is. Unfortunately none of the other characters get much time at all, and are all rather basic characters.
The actual story and editing I didn't have any issues with. The story I felt moved along at a nice pace that keeps you interested. And didn't get too bogged down that it felt like I was wasting time reading it. Many pages are filled with internal dialogue and discussion, often repeating information that does get a bit much at times. And I personally found the editing perfectly competent and didn't find any issues with it.
In the end I really enjoyed what I read, and will look into reading the second book at some point. With hope that the Archangel plot gets expanded upon more alongside the rest of the characters get a bit more development.
