Synopsis: SAMSON HAS LOST ALL HOPE.

Three decades have passed since a mysterious illness brought on by quantum entanglement suddenly decimated the human population. By harnessing quantum entanglement mankind had tapped into a dangerous power able to alter the very matter of our existence.

Samson long ago gave up searching for his family and now wanders the earth with no purpose and avoiding entanglement with other souls. But then he meets Selene—an orphaned, but strong and independent girl. She sees in him what he has forgotten. They journey together toward a utopian island only rumored to exist. Along the way they meet others also seeking to overcome the obstacles of the age, but in their own way.

Will Samson help Selene to make her way in this dangerous world, and will she help him to find his lost humanity? Or is Samson already too far gone, a relic of the previous age?

Review: Okay so overall this book was good. I liked the writing, it was easy to follow and it invoked some great questions that one needs to ask themselves. It was unique and the characters were compelling and complex. The book was also well paced.

However, I couldn’t get into it. I finished the book but never felt invested in the story. Like, it felt forced in a way, it didn’t flow well. The world building could have also been better in my opinion.

Verdict: It was good!
