This was a ride for sure. This book is very well-written, and especially the parts about Martyr and Ambrose, their relationship, and their conversations are so fascinating and thought-provoking. Not just Martyr's psychopathic thinking but also their conversations about what it means to be human.
However, the story within a story unfortunately didn't work for me. It was way too centred on machinery stuff (iykyk) and I just didn't give a single fuck until the very end. I think both storylines have a surprising ending that I really enjoyed, but unfortunately that didn't entirely make up for the story-within-a-story being so boring and absurd. So all in all I feel like it's around a 3🌟, but I'm definitely planning to pick up Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke which comes out in September on Amazon UK!
