Thank you NetGalley for an ARC of the audio and book.
Unfortunately I made it to 70% and got bored. I feel like this story had such potential but the short clipped chapters threw me off and didn’t help me stay connected to the story. I really wanted to like it since epidemic apocalyptic books are amazing but this fell short.

#readingchallenge2023 (my extra books!)
Disjointed, at first I felt like I missed something, but overall-I feel the author missed something; as the novel progressed it all felt like an incoherent mess.
Intriguing concept, but the author maybe
Disjointed. At first, I felt like I missed something- but then I felt like the author missed something; the novel was an incoherent mess. An intriguing concept, but the concept didn't have the substance to keep up with the ideas.
Started so strong, and I was fine with the flashbacks, but so many side stories felt out of place-dialogue became less captivating and more confusing-
I wanted more answers, there wasn't enough deliverables, and many set-ups where maybe the author felt there were resolutions were actually just bigger questions left unanswered.
Too ambiguous.
