What I liked:
💜 The dedication
The dedication speaks to the heart of this book. It’s beautiful 😍
💜Am unlikely hero you can’t help but root for.
Lillian goes from being an ordinary, unmotivated gamer to an accidental hero and pioneer. I don’t want to write any spoilers, so let’s just say Lillian’s character arc is powerful and inspiring. Lillian’s character is raw, brazen and yet vulnerable and relatable.
💜Satisfying twists and turns
There are some developments in the story that are both surprising and enjoyable to see unfold. If you pay close attention, you may catch on to what’s taking place, but even if you do guess what’s happening, it’s so well written you won’t be disappointed.
💜Unique world building
Wulf creates a world full of bizarre wonder and possibilities that blends generations, cultures, perspectives and more in ways that speak to the prevailing issues of our society and illustrates a thoughtful exploration of a new hypothetical world.
Do note:
- There are some things you may still have questions about after reading but not quite in a bad sense. The story explores theories and perspectives that may be fun conversation amongst science lovers and bookish minds.
- Some of the characters depicted lacked depth of the main and supporting characters, but I think this was intentional as they seemed to represent a general type of person that we may all encounter at least once in our lives. While I typically prefer complex characters, I think the general feel of certain characters worked well with the voice, pace and mood of the story.
Wulf explores concepts of time, identity, purpose and life and death through a unique lens that is bold, thoughtful, and sincere. I look forward to seeing what’s next.
