Another perfect sci-fi adventure! I can always count on Kaufman and Kristoff to deliver pulse pounding, hear wrenching, sarcasm filled stories.
This audiobook was so immersive to listen to because it had a full cast and sound effects (on that note I do not recommend listening to the last half at nighttime…it’s a little creepy). I think this might be a better book to listen to because you really feel like you’re there in the story, and it adds another layer of humanity to what’s going on.
I loved the characters, the story, and the fact that it’s told through different forms of media makes it compulsively easy to read/listen to. I gasped, I cried, I laughed, and I’d do it all over again.
I highly recommend this book! And I can’t wait to start the next one!
