Parasites by Matthew Samuels
4.0
Disclaimer: I was provided a copy of this book by the author in exchange for a fair and honest review.
When I first saw the title of Parasites, my mind immediately went to alien like horror. But this could not be farther from the truth. It is based on a society that goes through discovered portals called "thinnings" to discover what they can bring back to help their dying world to continue to exist until a solution can be found. In essence, they become the "parasites" of the universe. It follows a small group of characters as they go on a special mission to discover a possible long term solution.
This is a quick and fun read. The worlds that are introduced through this world are what really stand out to me. Each one was unique and different, making each discovery satisfying. I felt like the discovery was great and that it could be what we might have to do if we were looking for a solution to the end of our world.
The characters are individual, but we do not get a lot of information about the society where they come from, other than hints. I would have loved to know more of their history and how they ended up in the situation that we see them in. It is intriguing and leaves a lot for us to discover.
The technology is described in great detail, showing advancements in technology and such, without being over the top. I really enjoyed that the society that it focuses on might not be the most advanced in these universes.
I look forward to discovering more in this series and to find out where it is all headed. A great sci-fi debut.
Thank you for reading my review and I wish you the best of reading!!
