Mindwalker by Kate Dylan
5.0
An immersive and fast-paced science fiction standalone novel that keeps you on your toes at all times.
Our main character Sil Sarah is 18 years old and nearing the end of her time as a Mindwalker for Syntex, a private corporation which has developed technology that has saved humanity from extinction following the nuclear incident called the Annihilation. With around a year left to live before the technology in her head ends her life, she finds herself on the wrong side of a mission for the very first time and has to discover for herself what the corporation she's working for is capable of. Encountering a group called the Analog Army [led by the mysterious Ryder], she begins to unravel the story she has been told (and told herself) for a long time.
This was such an exciting listen/read - with easy to understand sci-fi futuristic setting to a minimal cast of characters each with a purpose, this book kept me intrigued. I don't ordinarily listen to audiobooks as quickly as this one, but I just couldn't stop listening! I found the story was also very easy to translate to the real world, while it also felt miles away!
The narrator for this audiobook felt a bit mechanic, but I found that worked given the setting we found ourselves in and the kind of vibe being presented so it didn't bother me as much.
Overall this was by far one of my best listens of the year - hands down!
I received a complimentary copy of this audiobook via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review, which I leave voluntarily
