I adore this book. I loved Finna as well and I can’t decide which one I enjoyed better.
- As my friends can guess Darkness was my favorite character lol, they’re sarcastic, funny and just plain cool.
- I also liked Derek’s character and his development, I related to him a bit.
- The anti-capitalist message wasn’t as “in your face” as in Finna, it still was there- just didn’t needlessly spell it out.
- One thing though — I need it to be longer!! I enjoy novellas but I would gladly take 50-100 more pages T-T
I guess I got attached haha
I had a similar problem with Finna, I understand it’s a novella but I would love to see another parallel universe or two because it was so interesting
- The IKEA setting never fails. I love IKEA
Um yeah this is more hectic than I usually write but there you go

What I loved
This is my favorite type of sci-fi, techy but with enough whimsy and weirdness to keep me completely intrigued even when the science might be going over my head. Just like with the first book, I absolutely loved the characters. All of them. Nino Cipri really knows how to get a reader totally invested really early on and keep us hoping for the best outcome until the very end.

There's no actual incest but there's implied tension between two clone characters that may make some uncomfortablemslanna's review against another edition

His journey is relatable and hopeful.
IKEA-horror but soft, and the inventory goes a little different than expected.
