2.0

it was like watching Dune (2021) again. a seemingly good story, but with such a slow build-up of events and only a couple of adrenaline-worthy moments that by the end you feel underwhelmed. I enjoyed it and will be reading the sequel, but nothing stood out. nothing made me laugh out loud or gasp or anything.

also, this book needed a map urgently. who decided it’d be a brilliant idea to leave one out? there are so many nations in this book and yet there’s no map.
