To be honest, I’m not entirely sure how I feel about this book. The synopsis was intriguing, and I still really like the premise, and there were aspects of it that I thought were dealt with brilliantly throughout the book, but there were also elements that weren’t dealt with as well.

It is one of those books that will stay with me for a while, as it was thought-provoking and tackled a lot of interesting questions and scenarios, but I think perhaps it was weighed a little too much towards this aspect. The characters were likeable enough, but they – even Athena – lacked that charisma or hook, that would pull me fully into their world and narrative. The plot also lost me a bit at times, because while I enjoyed the twists and turns, there were areas that felt a little too clunky and jarred me out of the narrative.

I also struggled a little with the narrator for this one, although that is simply personal preference. Although I will say that they did a fantastic job of breaking up the narrative with the jumping between memories, to news reports and other articles, and I will say that despite not getting on too well with her voice, that was a standout part of the audiobook for me.
