The story itself had so much potential, I mean the idea that memories can be deleted is a concept that really excites me in a sci-fi novel but it turned quite mellow. I wish we got something more dark and adventurous, more about Nepenthe and Noor trying to figure out what's happening within the organization, less about others dealing with their invidual traumas. I also couldn't really connect with the characters, only in the 2nd half of the book I started being interested in more than one POV, partially maybe because of the format. It felt like we are just following a bunch of people in the same universe rather than a group of characters within somewhat cohesive story.
