You don't expect any less from Stephen King, but I honestly couldn't put it down!
Some parts were so suspenseful, that they had me on the edge of my seat!
Would definitely recommend

I've read all of M.R Carey's books and this one just wasn't as good as all the others..
I'm just not sure how I feel about it?
The narrator was average in my opinion and the story just wasn't as strong.

Described as jaw dropping etc.
It really isn't.
Actually a very slow book, until the very end and then it gets super rushed.
I was excited to read this series but I probably won't read the next one... unfortunately.

Great story! Not so such a great performance

Amazingly detailed, scientific and futuristic as usual from A.G Riddle.
Another original and amazing plot.
The only thing that kinda got me was the performance.
Some of the characters are Australian.
I can appreciate the American narrator trying to get into the characters, but him putting on the accent was sooooo cringeworthy and horrible.
I almost couldn't do it for a while in the beginning.

It's so original and nothing like I've ever read.
The characters are so colourful and the history of their world almost seems real.
Great narrator also that perfectly captures the characters emotions and conveys them expertly.

Fell very flat of my expectations.
Slow and lumbering story line that i feel was "trying too hard" to be edgy/screwed up/creepy.
Terrible narrator.
Had to speed it up to be able to get through it.
Read Dark Places instead.
