Published in 2020, this is clearly a product of covid lockdown. I can appreciate that, but I think it may have been rushed to publication. I could have been fleshed out a bit more. I did enjoy parts of it but then continued to lose momentum. The ambiguity of the plot didn't bother me, but the character development was also lacking. I need one or the other. The view of humanity is a bit pessimistic for my tastes.
