I love the Remnant Chronicles by Mary E. Pearson, I whole-heartedly recommend that series. This book, not so much. I just didn’t like it.

The premise was very interesting and many of the philosophical questions were intriguing, but I feel like I’ve read so many books that were similar to this but better.

I didn’t care about the characters. Nothing surprised me. I felt like there was no emotional depth or complexity. The ‘romance’ was absolutely unnecessary and underdeveloped. The plot was nonexistent.

This is a short book but it felt like it dragged on forever. I listened to the audiobook on 2X speed and the last two parts were so boring I could hardly force myself to pay attention.

I know there are two more books in this series. I don’t see myself continuing.

That being said, I still love Mary E. Pearson and can’t wait for her next book in the Remnant Chronicles world.
