Absoluut een aanrader. Ik was erg benieuwd naar het einde, maar het stelde niet teleur. Compleet opgebouwd verhaal met opbouwende spanning werkende naar een climax, dit inclusief diepgang en intrigerende uitgewerkte ideeen. Geen vijf sterren omdat de opbouw wel erg uitgebreid was. Ik ga zeker het vervolg lezen.

This novel kept surprising me. I couldn’t predict the ending, but it was excellent. Audiobook narration also excellent.

It’s an interesting concept and gets great reviews, but there are no characters to connect with. I just don’t care about anyone. The humans are whiny and disagreeable. The spiders are calculating creatures, but not compelling.
