Meh.
Some people enjoy a “slow burn”, but perhaps this type of pacing is just not for me, especially in the realm of sci fi. Plus I didn’t care much about the characters.
Maybe 2.5 stars ish. I am clearly an outlier seeing as this book won the Goodreads Award for best sci-fi, so take this review as a grain of salt and check out other opinions on it.

All good Debbie, perhaps I just wasn't in the mood for it. I'm so glad to see you enjoyed it more than me! 🥰

Thank you so much, Sara. 🥰 Looking back on this one, it's a "me" issue with pace preference, her writing is beautiful. Adore your review and that you loved it 💕

Thank you so much dear Rosh! 🥰 I love how GR is just one big, cosy book club where we can all share our thoughts and feelings and our diversity in tastes and opinions makes it all the more colourful and fun! 🤍

Don't feel discouraged if you intend to read it Lizzy, a lot of people I know loved it and I'm a minority opinion! Let me know if you give it a go! 😊🤍

Not every book is a perfect match for everyone. Thanks so much Tina! 🤍

Sorry to be the bearer of news that I found it slow Bruna my love. 🥺Definitely check out the other reviews on this one though, there is a lot of glowing praise for it, and I'm in the outlier corner. Thank you for the moral support! 💘
