Netgalley ARC, dnf'd at 51%.
I feel literally awful that I dnf'd Extremophile, but I can tell that I'm not the target audience of this book.
The plot moved too slowly for my enjoyment and the writing style caused confusion. I found it hard to keep track of the characters, and I struggled with visualising the world-building. I also have a personal pet peeve regarding books that don't include " " quotation marks around dialogue, because I struggle to read them. All-in-all, dnf'ing this book was very much a it's not you, it's me move.
That being said, I definitely think that there is an audience for this book. If you feel passionately about finding new forms of sci-fi, futuristic literature not set in space and/or environmentalism, Extremophile would be a good suit for you.
