A mysterious build up that keeps us in the dark. It gives us really strong understanding of the main characters, but I’ll have to pick up the sequel because I want to see the plot unfold!

Bonus half star for the unique and clever chapter design, but admittedly I forgot to listen to the suggested playlist while reading.

I wish I'd recognised the author's name, because I found Sleeping Giants so boring, I could have avoided putting myself through this one.

Basically, there is a dynasty of women that come in pairs trying to take them to the stars, but there is a homologous male breed trying to stop their every move.

The book surprised me a lot, I love it when authors make up stories that go along the human race history, plus the characters were lovable and well made, but at the end of the book I feel I still need some answers and maybe the climax could have been more dramatic, for me is the choice of having few characters that made it feel small, even if the implication of the climax affected the human race.
