A review by booksnynk
...And In The Beginning by Manna Clarke
dark
medium-paced
3.5
I got this book from the author to review so thank you.
I love how the book started with the quick and easy to understand world building. But then about 30% in the. book take such a switch in tone and storytelling it took me until about 55% in to start liking it again.
The beginning it was an exciting sci-fi struggle and a kind off spoiled pov but still cute and naive. Then the main part off the story starts and suddenly it's more of a FBI thriller which is not something I personally enjoy. so when it start up again with the sci-fi elements I was getting back into the story.
the writing and storytelling is clear and consitent. there was one part where I was just annoyed because the idea off wealth must come across but so then it's decided to name drop some brands which for me where more tacky then scream wealth. That could just be the parts off the world we life in.
Anyway good book and why is there a need for an cliffhanger I need to know more
