Reading the synopsis had me excited to read this, expecting post-apoc or dystopian vibes and a mystery. However, in reading it, I found I had to really force myself. It was rather dull, literally putting me to sleep and having to be restarted several times … only for me to still have to force myself to see this book through.

The dystopian vibes just aren’t there for most of it. Once in a while something will be said that made me go ‘oh yea, this isn’t contemporary’ but mostly, the world-building was lacking or it just felt like the ‘real world’.

I found no mystery in this, other than the mystery of ‘why is this so dull’. Though I solved that one, I think. Likely it’s due to ‘telling’ writing style instead of showing.

Not bad per se, but not for me.

2-3 stars for the content.

Audio:
Okay. Overall clear sound quality. The narrator had a smooth, pleasant voice, however sounded a bit robotic. 3 stars for the audio production.
