Wish I had some answers about what the driver was and what happened to the characters after he died but otherwise solid story.

Bad stuff: PLEASE PATRICK NESS EDIT YOUR BOOKS. The pacing and mystery was actually really good until we meet Tomage (?) and Rajean (again audiobook I do not know how to spell these names) and then the book begins to drag on for chapters and chapters of meaningless interactions. It’s like Patrick couldn’t decide what kind of book he wanted to write and decided to include a scene (or multiple chapters!!) that followed one plot line that eventually went nowhere. If he had answered a single!! question maybe I could forgive him but the ending is stupid. The premise is promising but he ends it stupidly. Go watch the matrix, it’s essentially the same thing.
I wanted to give up when I had 45 minutes left and could barely slog through the ending. That should’ve been the most on the edge of your seat part of the book.

Hard to write a review of such a character oriented book. No surprise that I loved this book. Patrick Ness has a way of pulling you into the story every time. All the snipets of the past were so good even when it broke my heart. Love it
