There were plenty of elements that I enjoyed about this book: suspense, general plot and tropes, the feeling of “more than this” that was provoked by wanting to know what happened next. A few things like character development (Tomasz’ english was a big one) could have been better for me. Overall a good read.

4.0

Such a unique and interesting book! I love the blend of sci fi, contemporary, and existentialism. There were a lot of points where we don’t know what is going on, but neither does Seth, so it really feels like we’re figuring everything out (or not) with him. The character development was great too. Although the ending was satisfying for me, I could see why people would want more, and I do wish there were a bit more answers for some things (but that was also kind of the point).

This book made my life significantly worse. This man should never be allowed to write. There’s a pain in my chest that won’t go away. You caused it. Get away from me.
