A review by moon___dude
The Mountain in the Sea by Ray Nayler

challenging mysterious slow-paced

3.75

I wish a 3.95 rating existed for this book. I was unsure about it at first (takes awhile to get started, you’re thrown into the world with little explanation), but when it got going it had me hooked. Very existentialist roots and gave me a lot to think about, but the ending was so anticlimactic it made me a bit upset as it is marked as a thriller.

Maybe it’s supposed to be unsurprising that Altantsetseg is a double agent but the reveal came across so flat. I think we should’ve been more/as impacted by this reveal as by Dr. Ngyuen’s boyfriend being a point-five.
