I had fun reading this and ripped through it, which is basically what I needed for post-holiday slump. Now I have a good reading habit and can read better stuff with more focus, yay. Fun story and enjoyed the science and comfortingly rhythmic problem-solving, and the alien stuff was cool. But ultimately I can't say I thought it was good.

Recommended creepy/unsettling October reading, if you're into that

It was just really bland. Kind of poppy and readable in the way I needed to get out of a slump, and there were some elements of post-climate-disaster worldbuilding that were kinda cool. But I don't think I'd recommended it unless you enjoy British writers with their head up their own ass.

This is maybe one of the best and weirdest books I've ever read? Or maybe it just hit me right today because I feel kinda nuts and just crushed most of it in one day and it covers a lot of emotional ground. Either way I can't believe my luck that there's 6 more volumes (although I have to wait for them all to come out and be translated)

Read the whole book on half a plane ride. It was really easy to get into and the payoff of the connections between the stories happens pretty fast. Its like, so so violent but I think if you read the summary you know what youre getting into. This is maybe the 3 or 4th book I've read that Julia Sanches has translated and I've really liked all of them.
