The Chain by Adrian McKinty
3.0

I had high expectations for this book after reading “The Island” from Adrian as it was well executed and I loved it. The first half of the book was intense, attention grabbing, and I couldn’t put it down and I finished it in like 4-5 days. But the second half I just couldn’t get into, I couldn’t bring myself to pick the book back up for about a MONTH. It was just boring, lack luster and the writing just went downhill in my opinion. I give it three stars mostly for the first half of the book, but the second half wasn’t that great. I had to force myself to listen to the audio version just for the second half to get through it. I really wanted to DNF this book but couldn’t bring myself to do it.

SPOILER!!!!!
I also feel like they got Rachel’s daughter back way too soon into the book, there was so much more than could’ve been explored. And the ending was pretty lack luster.
