this was interesting and i was invested for the majority of the book. especially once gyre started hallucinating and it became a psychological thriller for a minute.
BUT! gyre is such an irritating main character. like, i understand not trusting Em and going against her AT FIRST. but when were 80% into the book and she’s still saying the same distrustful things…like please get a grip. finish the job. STOP WHINING. those parts of the story is what dropped this from a solid 4-4.5.
still, i would recommend this to those looking for a scifi horror/thriller. it was worthwhile.
