This was a cool idea, but not well executed. I couldn't get into this one.

It was certainly a page turner and had unique concepts. However, it was grappling with so many big ideas that I’m not sure it executed them as well as I’d like. I did love the narration style- unusual and effective.
I found the humans outside of the one “murdered” to be relatively one dimensional and had very little sympathy for them. It would’ve been more interesting if those characters were more complex.
