The Rowan by Davis Bunn
2.0
Thank you to the publishers Severn House for access to an E-arc via NetGalley .
Part political conspiracy, part science fiction, part first contact, part fantasy, part mass drug induced hallucination (?) - I'm not fully sure what The Rowan was trying to do - perhaps trying to do too much? The idea of a 'hive mind' while still retaining individuality is an interesting concept, but for me, this story just didn't work well, and was too implausible at times. I don't mind things being unresolved at the end of a book - and I was not interested or invested enough to read the first chapter of the next book in the series that was included. Not for me I'm afraid.
