Thoughts:
Max Barry has mad skills. This is a fast paced thriller with a Sci-Fi twist and a TOTALLY original story. The tone, the pacing and the overall thought gone into this novel is amazing, Why does NO-ONE know about this novel?
Max has such a fluid and engaging writing voice, The chapters are well paced and the ambiguity of the story kept me reading into the dark hours. The characters are well developed and the story was unlike anything I had read before. This is more for an adult audience but I think after reading you might even want to pass it down to your teen.
It has everything you would be looking for in a novel: action, intrigue, (can we call it?) magic.
The vague synopsis doubled the fun. Just do yourself a favor and read it.
