not my favourite novel by BC, but definitely an action-packed adventure, and something i think would do well in film format.

and thats probably why i didnt enjoy this as much as i have with BCs books in the past. its so fast-paced, to the point where i was racing through the pages. like, there were times when i realised i was reading so fast (because the story is constantly on the move) that i had to go back and reread sections because i just blazed right through them. lol.

so its no surprise this story is 100% plot focused and the characters definitely take a back seat to this. not a deal breaker by any means, but because of the lack of character development and short length of the book in general, this definitely gives off “short story” vibes, rather than the feel of an in-depth novel.

but its perfect if you are wanting something quick with full speed action surrounding a very intriguing sci-fi plot where someone wants to genetically upgrade the human race. its entertaining, for sure.
