I read this because it was compared to Lindsay Ellis's Noumena series, which I absolutely love so far.

Positives: The theme and message of the qualities of humanity. The dream sequences and puzzles were so much fun to read about. Seeing people work together to solve problems was heartwarming. I just loved the character of Robin. It was suspenseful and I cared about what happened.

Negatives: The writing style felt young and it was grating at times. The side characters were underdeveloped; I would have loved more chapters from other characters' perspectives! In Ellis's similar book, the government bungles things in a way that is just way more realistic. It was nice but unrealistic to see a completely competent, compassionate president in this situation, but it fit well with the overall themes. I wish there had been more of a relationship between Carl and April (a là Ellis's book again, oops!) I think I may be comparing this to her book too much, but I really did enjoy this.

AHHHHHHHHHH! Djdjencirnskakeigncn 
Pardon that bit of keysmash, I couldn't contain my excitement. This was so good, insightful, deep, troubling, hopeful, beautiful, and so many other words that can be used to describe humans.

I've read it three times now. One of my favorite books. It gets stressful at parts, but definitely worth it. Two part series, you don't want to miss the second book. If you like anything Hank Green has ever done, there's a good chance you'll like his books.

I mean holy shit, this book has it all. it's incredible. it's strange and funny and heartfelt and inventive and has decent social commentary and clever mysteries and truly it is a really really good book. I'm absolutely dying to get my hands on the sequel. also, hank green found a way to build a content warning right into the book, which I loved.
