For the amount of twists and turns in this novel, the ending is unsatisfying and doesn't deliver. The book is written in a simple way, yet when you think you know what is going on, you realise that you truly do not know what is going on. Seth is a greatly flawed character, but equally the reader feels empathetic for him and his circumstances. He experiences great growth and learns the true value of the place he is in. The world is crafted so articulately and readers are drawn in and can't put the page down.

While the intrigue was maintained, I won’t lie: sometimes, the slow pacing was off-putting. However, the desire to know what the fudge was happening paired with the extremely short chapters kept me reading. I also quite liked Regine and Tomasz.
Thank you, Erika, for pushing me to read this for the last couple of years. I’m glad I finally did. More Than This is better than the Chaos Walking trilogy, even if half the time, I had no clue what was real and I never knew what to expect. Now I can recommend it alongside you. It’s a twisted story, but one that’s worth the read.
Representation
- queer protagonist and side character in a m/m relationship (occurs prior to the story and in flashbacks)
