The Chain by Adrian McKinty
3.0

3.3 rounded down to 3 stars. While the concept was strong and intriguing, the overall writing style left me feeling meh.

Execution fell short, and I struggled to connect with the writing, particularly the portrayal of a female (mother’s) perspective. It felt obvious the author was writing from a male gaze and it did not feel genuine. Part 1 was thrilling and engrossing, but Part 2 didn't live up to the build-up. The book read more like a script, especially towards the end. Honestly would be a be a better tv show than book (a rare review).
