The Amber Project

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The synopsis of this book grabbed my attention and I couldn't wait to read it.
The pacing was very slow for the first 30%. I actually almost left it as a DNF because I was struggling but I persevered and at around the 55% mark, it got a lot more interesting and then I couldn't stop reading.
Sometimes the technology and the details became info dumps and were a little confusing.
Part of the storyline is told through transcripts of audio recordings and it took me a little while to get used to them. There are time jumps through the book too and sometimes I had to go back and check the times and places.
I really liked the exploration of the surface and what the characters discovered. It was the most interesting part of the plot, for me.
The characters were well developed. Alex was annoying and I couldn't wait for him to get what he deserved, I liked Mei and her intelligence and Terry, the MMC, had good character growth.
I'm very curious about the ending and what happens next, so I will definitely check out the next book.
