3.5

A fascinating premise and a book I really enjoyed - the protagonist(s) were interesting, complex characters and I really loved following their journeys in this strange world.
There were a lot of additional secondary characters that never really clicked, though, particularly in the family - it was hard to remember who was who, and to give anyone besides Izzy and Preston any notable personality trait. The narrative was a bit lopsided too, heavy on Izzy’s life before the complex and then rushing through certain key moments in the IFP. For those reasons, even though I recommend the read, I rate it 3.5 stars.
