Project Hail Mary

Wrote a review for

The world building is just phenomenal. The characters, both completely relatable and infuriatingly annoying at times, are just excellent. The two major time periods - both now and how we get here from the past - are intertwined so expertly.

This is an utterly sensational novel. Constantly gripping, always engaging, always hooking you in.

No notes, 5 stars.

Like the two before it, Vanish is a sensational addition to the Lane Holland universe.

This one didn't grab me as much as the previous two did for a good chunk of the story, but it was still excellent. The ending, though. The ending. The last 15% are just WILD!

I think I have whiplash.

Can't wait for what Shelley writes next. Whether another chapter in the Lane Holland universe, or a new one, I'll be there.

Shelley is a sensational novelist, which such a fascinating and enthralling way of writing. I am able to very vividly "see" the world that Shelley has laid out, and I was just as deeply enraptured in Ripper as I was in WAKE.

Lane's involvement in this installment is very muted, but given his situation in life at this time, it would have been obtuse any other way.

The plot, the history, the threads, and the characters, all phenomenal!

Wow. Just wow.

The characters are complex, and very well written. The plot is intense, and progresses at an excellent pace.

The twists will give you whiplash, and make you dizzy at the same time.

Would love to be able to read it in its mother tongue, but Jamie does a phenomenal job with the translation.
