A dystopian setting. A future world where an omniscient AI is implanted in everyoneβs brain. A world in which a deadly fog has descended upon the earth, obliterating every living thing in its path. One last stand for humanity exists on a remote island at the end of the world, where the villagers farm their own crops, cultivating the land through days of hard work followed by singing, art, and music in the evenings. Underneath this idyllic landscape however, there are mysterious deaths, a saboteur at large, and not everything is as it seems...
Read if you love unreliable characters, questionable morality, whether the ends justify the means, and murder mystery style twists and turns. I found myself binging this one. I read it in just a couple of days. Iβm not sure itβs going to stick in permanent memory, but it was an enjoyable read. I really loved the main character Emory. Everyone else was unlikeable to me and I did not trust a single one of them! This was my first Stuart Turton and I am inclined to pick up the The 7.5 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle which I have heard is excellent.
Thanks to @netgalley and @sourcebooks for allowing me to read an advanced reader copy - this book is out now!
