I received this as part of my Brilliant Books subscription, and I must confess to a moment of dread and doubt when I opened the box. I tried to read "The Quantum Thief" and absolutely hated it, so much so that I didn't finish it. However, BB has done a great job of picking books for me and I do like to give author's more than one chance, so I decided to give it a go. I'm glad I did.
It wasn't particularly suspenseful, mysterious, or surprising. It was, in fact, quite predictable. Yet it was also fun and adventurous. I liked the complexity of the characters, their nuanced morality. I enjoyed rooting for them. In particular, I enjoyed rooting for two people on opposite sides of one another.
All in all, it was a fun, light read. Nothing taxing, but rather a rollicking adventure.
