For fans of sci-fi novels, you will like this. If you’re like me and really only dapple in sci-fi once in a while, this novel is not for you.
It’s so lengthy and wordy for no reason. Way too much plot and not enough enjoyment at all. There were literal chapters of nothingness. It’s also not fresh or new in any way.
Retelling of classic sci-fi tropes with no attempt of being different or new. A wanna be crossover of Brave New World and the Matrix. I can even say that I’m spoiling anything because you can see all the twists and turns coming. I was really hoping for something different. Extremely disappointed and wish I didn’t even bother with it.
The best part of the book is the last 9 or 10 chapters. And the last two chapters are useless pages. Does nothing to round out the story. Honestly don’t waste your time. Unless you really are obsessed with this genre.
