3.5. Really interesting and intriguing, but I didn’t really care about anyone

The concepts of each of these books has been so interesting, and very frightening. AI has become a huge part of the world we currently live in, and reading these books really makes you wonder just how far it will be taken. How much free will we will be left with, how much we would be recorded. It's a truly scary thought and like the previous three, this one really shows you just what could go wrong. 
Yet another great book from John Marrs. While it wasn't a favourite, I really enjoyed it and I can't wait to start the next one.

3.5⭐️

Loved the concept of this book and was so intrigued! However, I felt it was very hard to follow. Granted, I listened on audio so maybe I would have had better luck reading it. I just felt like there were a lot of characters and I had trouble keeping them straight and I think if I could have highlighted the name and searched the book like I can on my kindle, I would have followed along better!

Overall, I reallly liked the book and the plot was so interesting! May need to try reading it next time

This book was amazing. It built off the previous books in such a real way. I really enjoyed the world building in this sequence of books. So fun and scary and left an uneasy feeling in my stomach!
