- St. John Mandel is all-around good at what she does.
- Well-crafted and executed impeccably. No unsatisfying loose ends.
- Perfect pacing and length, unique concept.
- The character development is unreal. Even minor characters felt lived-in.
- I'd like to see her expand into a different genre. She's excellent in her element, but her past three books have been very similar to each other (not to say that I found them tedious or derivative)
- I don't think that this story needed to be
tied to The Glass Hotel . I can see how it might be satisfying to make that connection but it could easily stand alone. - Maybe I've been reading too many pandemic-focused books, but the details of the
SARS 5 pandemic felt a bit tired--maybe too similar to COVID-19
