The Coordinate by Marc Jacobs

3.0

Part 1 of what is essentially a YA Da Vinci Code. My major complaint is Logan and Emma are assigned to write a school paper together and end up solving the world’s most important mystery, while making major leaps of logic, technology and luck years after everyone else tried first. The ending of this book offers what could be a glimpse into why this was possible, but it’s also possible that didn’t happen and they’re just outstanding kids. The suspension of disbelief required is massive, and the omniscient third person narration was really tough to swallow.

I’ll give the author credit that there are no scene dissolves. He needs to walk us from A to Z and explain the journey, and we do get that, despite how appear thin it might appear at times.

Curious to see where it goes from here!
