An interesting premise, but a lacklustre, dry execution. Never really wowed me.
Sadly, only a few of the characters' chapters (Mei and Oscar) were actually worth reading and somewhat interesting. The other characters (Noor, William, Finn) and their chapters weren't as engaging for me, and I never felt connected to them.
Speaking of connecting, rather than reading a single, cohesive narrative, I felt I was reading five distinct, separate character stories, which ultimately made the book highly disjointed and disconnected.
As a whole, this book was a major disappointment for me.
