Did I request this because I saw Keanu Reeves name on the cover? Possibly. (Absolutely.)

In this book, we learn about Unute, a man who has been alive since the beginning of everything, an immortal warrior who has lived through everything and has seen everything. After being alive for so long, he has seen everything and nothing can surprise him anymore… Until it does. Something has changed, and we follow Unute through present times as they try to unravel the mystery, we get glimpses into his past which was interesting to see.

I’ve learned that this is based on a graphic novel, so I might check that out. I did struggle reading this, I didn’t really connect with the characters, it was mostly my curiosity that made me carry on reading. I wish I had connected with the characters more, I can barely remember their names. The story was interesting although it did seem to drag at certain points so I just think this type of storytelling isn’t for me.
