3.25

3.25 stars. The atmosphere in this book was so tense and claustrophobic.  It makes you feel like you’re the one in the suit. I read this book in about a day so it never really felt too slow. I was impressed that for just climbing or swimming or dialogue between the two characters it still held my interest. 

I felt like the ending was a bit rushed also

we never find out what happened with Gyre smashing the battery. What about the other rope on the long drop? And where did Eli’s stuff come from at the end?

I wasn’t a huge fan of the ending hence the lower score
