Altered Straits by Kevin Martens Wong

4.0

I love sci-fi, gory details, and the fact that this is Singapore reimagined makes Altered Straits the most memorable local novel. The world building, Naufal's in particular, is fascinating stuff and I want more. That said, if there was any parallelism between the wars of the respective worlds, I couldn't tell. Didn't understand the point of the Concordance either. Not sure why the author kept saying things like "Concordance knew that humanity stood no chance." and then really go ahead and have everything wiped out. The lack of an anticipated plot twist is, disappointment.
