This has been on my to-read list for quite a while, but I've put it off because it was the first of a series and I knew that I would love it so much that I wouldn't be able to put it down. I was right. I absolutely adored this book and it was almost impossible to put it down and work or do other things.

While I won't pretend to be able to define consciousness, I will say that it's a topic that intrigues me after reading this book and I am looking forward to exploring it in the next books!
