Loved itthis book really surprised me it had been a very long time since I had read a sci-fi mystery government type book it had been a really long time and this one just really stuck with me I read this at the beginning of the year and absolutely loved it
Not a fanThis one I tried on audiobook and it was so boring and I had been reading it, listening to it, for days and I could have sworn to you guys I was like 200 pages in and I looked at the book and I was 56 pages into this book and it felt like it had taken me ages to get just 56 pages in the book. So to me it was boring, a lot of info dumpy, and like I didn't really know why the things were happening but I could tell you exactly all the little booby traps the character would set up for herself whenever she would go to bed at night so that no one could get her but I didn't really understand why people cared to come after her.
