A review by kmthomas06
The Last Equation of Isaac Severy by Nova Jacobs

3.0

I'm not quite sure what I was expecting but it wasn't quite this. An interesting read and it certainly kept me guessing though it was ultimately pretty implausible all around. The morality of the characters is concerning, to say the least, but I enjoyed the exploration of a set of people driven by numbers at all costs and the blind faith that if the numbers say it is so then it must be, no matter what. Hazel does well as the "heroine" (and I only had minimal desire to shake her periodically) and her uncle and brother made for compelling narrators (and in retrospect, how their chapters play with the idea of an unreliable narrator is quite cool).
