This got off to a strong start, and I remained intrigued/curious pretty much the whole way. It features a lot of themes that I'm a fan of, which is great as it was one of the first books ever recommended to me when the first ever version of our recommendations algorithm went live in 2020. However Behold the Dreamers ended up falling a little flat for me. I was hoping for something more, both in the plot and the characters' behaviour and actions!
