Man, it's been a while since a book has gotten me emotional like this one did. Great story, great characters. You just gotta prepare for a little bit of fruitiness ;)

Made me think & reflect. Some stories had themes I connected with more than others, some stories had writing styles I connected to better, and one story I started reading and skipped because I had no idea what was going on.

This was one of the books that got me back into reading. The Greek mythology and female empowerment theme was great, but it definitely had periods that dragged and there wasn't much plot (which is understandable - the main character is immortal).

Recommending this to anyone who likes sci fi. An easy read with cool science and winning characters, I understand why there's hype about it and could maybe see it becoming a classic.

Absolutely loved being able to trust Rocky throughout the book, no dishonesty or betrayal. This and how the entire world works together does start to feel a little idealistic, but it's a nice change of pace from other apocalyptic / alien stories.

WOW, what a book man. Aside from some random parts toward the end, absolutely superb. The most I've connected to characters in a while. Will probably reread. Very Good. 9/10 overall. Beautiful writing. Real characters. Excellent worldbuilding. Mwah, chef's kiss. 10/10 recommend.
