Eve is genuinely one of the most consistently frustrating and entertaining main characters I’ve ever encountered. She lives in a world where people print their breakfast (or is it reheating? I’ve never quite understood the whole auto-chef concept till now) and get full-body facelifts like it’s a spa day, but you somehow mention a synthetic human-ape hybrid or anything supernatural and suddenly she’s clutching her pearls. Like she needs to be serious and get with the program because the future is weird.

Other than that, I really enjoyed the mystery in this one. It was just the right amount of bizarre and was creepy enough but still somehow grounded in that tech and science modern blend thing that this series always pulls off so well. And at first, I didn’t trust that Eton guy because he had that too polished and too calm energy going for him, and it just seemed too suspicious. Justin was also out of the question for me because he somehow felt like a red herring from the jump; it was too convenient tbh. So I definitely didn’t guess who our true suspect was. I don’t even know how Dallas got it right

But I guess even with all I think about Eve, once she stops being slightly insufferable with her intolerance that is, she’s rarely ever wrong when it comes to her instincts. I mean, her instincts might be a little dramatic and even stubborn, but they’re rarely off base. So, even when Eve’s being annoying, I still find myself rooting for her.
