I LOVE THIS BOOK SO SO SO MUCH. Slightly random but if I didn’t already play the violin this book would have convinced me to start. I don’t have any coherent thoughts right now but I really enjoyed reading this and highly recommend it.

‘Good Omens meets The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet’ is at the beginning of the description for this book so of course I need to finally read ‘Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet’ now. It is in a pile of books currently on the desk next to me and has been there for months 😂

Aaaand I’ve finished it. Just put the book down. My wrists are very tired. The writing was really good and I hesitate to say that I loved it or enjoyed it but this book is definitely a 5 star read from me. (READ THROUGH THE CONTENT WARNINGS).

Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff are officially two of my favourite authors. I wasn’t sure whether I would like this as much as I liked the Illuminae Files but this was SO GOOD and I’m looking forward to reading the next book. 

I really liked the pages of information from Magellan who rapidly became one of my favourite characters (device?).

This rating might change at some point. This book was difficult to read. You know when you’re reading a book and think ‘these topics are hitting too close to home for me in a bad way right now and I should probably stop reading this’ but read it anyway because the storyline has you hooked? Yeah that was me 😅 Hopefully it was worth it but seriously guys it’s well worth checking all of the content warnings for this instead of diving in head first.

On a much lighter note; Noam and Dara are precious and must be protected at all costs.
