I find myself unable to more concretely articulate my thoughts on this novel. For me, it felt a little contrived, and I felt like it relied a little too much on everyone being a tad too “Idiotic protagonist #3” if that makes sense.
However, it does have some interesting ideas that I think could be expanded upon in subsequent novels. So I may continue reading novels by this author sporadically in the future.
As always the Soundbooth Theatre crew kills their presentation and were not a detriment to the story.
