Wow, das war ganz schön verwirrend. Aber auch spannend. Ich hätte auch gerne mehr über die Technik von Exilium gelesen. Es ging immer um eine Bedrohung, aber das wurde finde ich nicht genügend erläutert.

 Die Firma bleibt gesichtslos und der Täterfokus wird sehr bald auf

gelenkt. Samuel Holler hatte ich mir als interessanten Bösewicht erwartet. Ich glaube, das Buch wäre für mich spannender gewesen, wenn die Firma genauer behandelt worden wäre. 

Sonst: War sehr spannend. Die Plottwists waren teilweise vorhersehbar. Ich habe das Gefühl, als würde ich seeeeehr viele verschiedene Bücher und Filme in Exilium erkennen, die alle zusammengemixt worden sind, ganz vorne das Buch Layers von Ursula Poznanski. Ein übermächtiges Gadget von einer gefährlichen Firma, die Menschen überwachen und schaden will? Sehr ähnlich. 

Der Schreibstil ist wie auch bei Ancora seeehr angenehm und ich finde Lennox, Dorian und Nia übelst sympathisch.
