Still I have such mixed feelings about this book.
It was soo slow paced and boring, so many descriptions and unnecessary subplots. Also character/plot holes - what happened to Hunter for example? It wasn't totally scifi, had some magic or fantasy moments that weren't explained, what happened in the tunnels in the start??
ALSO THE END? EXCUSE ME? WHAT HAPPENED THERE????? I NEED ANSWERS!!!
But I really liked the internal monologues of Artyom and I feel like a lot of people forget about this but he had such deep and meaningful thoughts, it was so great to read about it and tbh that's what saved this book for me.
