Uhhhh... I have no idea. I think I need to stop reading things outside my interests regardless of the praises. Kinda interesting. Was expecting something profound. And it didn't change the way I think as I've read it did for some. It just felt like a story

Very interesting read. The scientific side of the mystery is worked out thoroughly so it might not be for everyone. But I was absorbed in it and couldn’t put it down! The ending felt a bit shoehorned, but other than that I liked the flow and development of the plot. I hear the next ones even better so I can’t wait to get a copy!

The science is great, the author clearly has a deep understanding of physics and really did his research, but it reads like a textbook. Seriously. Calling the characters one dimensional would be too generous, they are flat flat flat as can be. And the ending was so anticlimactic, it really didn’t make me care enough to keep reading the series right now.

amazing 10/10 fantastic so smart but also crazy but also sentimental but actually mostly just crazy and insane but in really cool ways and unlike other books I actually ties together resulting in visceral shock and awe that feels somewhat unparalleled at least to me personally with what I've read so far
