The man equally needs to open and close a thesaurus.
But despite my criticisms, I really did love these books. I absolutely loved the characters, except the bad ones, lol. And the plot was weird and strange in a way which made it hard to put down. Despite the length, I was invested in these stories. I needed to know how it was going to all end. So, for me at least, I consider that a sign of a damn good book.

Ok now seriously… I struggled at the beginning of this one. I loved Wanderers and think I jumped back into the world too quickly. So after about 6ish months I was ready to go back, picking up where I’d left off at 20%. So incredibly worth it.
This book starts slow but once I understood why I was back I was all in. Wendig brings people back without it seeming weird, introduces new people that I was fascinated by and took me on a journey I couldn’t have expected.
Damn… I have this on my list of books to annotate one day. Now that I know how it concludes I want to see how the journey weaves itself together.
