I was so interested in this concept the moment I read the synopsis and got really excited for this book, but I think it just wasn’t it for me. I felt like I was missing a lot of stuff and didn’t like how I kept walking away with more questions than answers at the end of each part. The different character plotlines that interjected with Ha’s storyline also distracted me and kind of confused me at times. I really, really wanted to enjoy the book but sadly, it wasn’t my cup of tea. 3.5/5 stars

This is a book where the plot is truly just a vessel for a very interesting conversation about human vs nature, and our obsession and fear of our own creations. However, it took me way longer than I expected to figure out what I was following along with and I think that made my enjoyment lessen. I would try another book by Nayler though. The writing itself was engaging. I just got lost along the ride.
