Whoo boy— are you in for quite a ride when you pick up this book. There’s action. There’s angst. There’s humor. There’s weird sci fi concepts. There’s cool world building. There’s a wild plot twist. This book has it all and so much more in this short amount of pages. But man, was it good! I love Carolyn. Seeing her personality and character in general progress throughout the story and plot. Reading her plan form and have it take place. (I know some people have a qualm about her being gone/away from us for too long — but you connect with the other characters and povs I feel).
I didn’t expect to think this highly of this book when I picked it up for a “light read” in between fantasy or sci-fi books. But it was an awesome ride (excluding the animal cruelty and rape parts- which I want to note for those who pick it up or want to. two moments where these are described/talked about). Probably even more if you went in blind. Pick it up!
