Thanks to Netgalley for the book in exchange for an honest review.
Conceptually I found this a very interesting dystopic scifi novel. We don't know what is real and not real in this novel, not fully understanding why exactly these people don't have real memories and why language has been warped (which we know as readers) and manipulated. I feel as though we were almost on a precipice as readers ourselves in discovering who these people really are -but with all that said I think it could have had a little more depth or context for the reader. I was hoping that the end of the novel would be a third person looking at this "research center" from the outside or something because I'm quite confused as to what this book was commenting on. You're supposed to definitely be confused and not have all the answers but it feels like I read only part of a book and am waiting for party 2 without really having learned any information? Concept is cool but execution is okay.
