4.0

Another book I did not expect liking as much as I did! Very fast-paced, philosophical, delightfully gory and almost dizzingly agonising. It follows a young man who does not know who he is, and a world that is built to pry and take him apart, demanding answers to his existence. At some points it felt too much to read, because I felt for the main character and his need to cling to something, and the ending was cliffhanger-like, so I have no idea what happened there. Definitely enjoyable though. I just wish there was some more characterisation.
