Exordia by Seth Dickinson
5.0

You don't pick up a Seth Dickinson book for an easy pleasurable read. You pick it for the mind-fuck and boy, does he deliver. This book takes you through the horror of "first contact" with an unhealthy dose of acid on top. Both the fictional and non-fictional ideas presented here are marvelous. But what I really loved were the fleshed-out characters and how unique they were.

Being an Iranian myself, I was ready for silly mistakes and Hollywoodism, but I guess Seth really did a deep research on the region. All the people from various parts of the world were presented in an authentic way, and that made the story much better.

This is a hard read. But in a fascinating way, you don't want it to ever end.
