This book has been on my radar since the beginning of this year when people were raving about the author's other book, The Deep. And I finally got to it. I didn't enjoy it as much as the other, but it was still extremely well-written and intriguing. I found myself enjoying Theo's perspective (for that brief time when they switched perspectives) better than Aster's. I also got major autism vibes from Aster, although those words were never used in the story. Also, the ending? Meh. That's what made me bump it down from 4 to 3.5. Still good, but not my favorite!
