3.5 out of 5

You know, I think I would've given this a better score if not for the fact I read this while COVID is such a big thing. I suppose it just hit too close to home.

It's crazy that this book was written a while ago and it's hitting everything going on now. This science-fiction became basically science fact, and I was just overwhelmed the whole time. I really think that it hurts the book more than helps the book. All it did was bring me down and remind me how terrible the world really is.

Luckily this book has amazing characters that really lifted it up. I loved them all, and they really kept me going because the plot was sometimes too much to handle at times.

Honestly, I'd be careful reading this book right now. If this pandemic has been too much for you, like it has for so many others, then I'd say to stay away. It will get to you and might trigger a lot of bad emotions and panic attacks.
