I listened to this as an audiobook, which I was pretty, unsure about given that it’s written as a dossier of collected documents, however, I think it really added to the experience. This was incredibly unique and engaging. As much as I’m sort of done with stories that have 18-year-olds as the focal point, this worked. It’s definitely character driven science fiction rather than tech and science driven - but generally, that is still my preference within the genre. I was also sort of surprised to notice halfway through that it’s technically classified as young adult. I suppose it’s no more traumatic and violent than say Divergent or The Hunger Games. I would just be thoughtful to be clear - this is not a middle grade book so much as a late middle school to high school book.
