Fascinating idea for a book, although I don’t know if I thought it was that well executed. I was bored during a big part of the book although the story is thrilling. It became very repetitive after a while and I think that the book could have been incredible if there had been more effort put in the storytelling and not only the story in itself! I liked the language and I can see the effort put in the storyline etc but i don’t know, I didn’t love it.
