I haven't read a fast paced book in quite a while and Mindwalker did not disappoint! It felt very reminiscent of the times I spent rereading The Hunger Games triology or the Divergent trilogy. I felt Mindwalker offered a more futuristic esq version of a dystopian YA novel.
I adored the complexity and levels of detail to the characters, their personalities and backstories. Adding to this was the constant train of thought of 'how would I deal with such a world' and 'do I think technology should be developed and used in this way'. Those questions and the constant pondering meant I kept thinking about this book long after I had finished those final pages.
My only personal disappointment was with the ending itself, it felt a little too all things fall perfectly together for our main protagonists and I would have prefered the ending to have been a little bit more gritty and dark, fitting with the overall tone and theme of the rest of the book. I am looking forward to reading the sequel though.
