Well, I really wanted to love this one. It just didn’t live up the expectations I had for it. I loved the ideas present in the novel and it gave me plenty to think about. I just didn’t enjoy it. The book felt too long and I never really felt invested in the characters.

Lovely, heartwarming, intense. Unfortunately, had a bit of die hard action which first reminded me of The Stand and then was just boring, but it is such a good read nonetheless.

Literally TL;DR I couldn't get into it. I don't know if it was the length, the pacing, or just the story but I quit like 100 or so pages in. I also did not like the switching perspectives of such a large cast. Oh well
