Tangle's Game

It started really well. There was excitement, the sci-fi elements were introduced well and intrigued me. It tapered off after around 40% though and I struggled to keep going. I eventually gave up 50% in.

Lots of political commentary. I enjoy politics, but this went above and beyond, for me. You can tell it was written around Brexit and the issues the EU is facing and I just have no interest in reading about it more than I already have to suffer through it on the news daily. I took a peak at the author's twitter, and the political commentary in the book suddenly made a lot more sense, which was a shame, as this definitely had potential.

Amanda, as a main character, had very little personality. She was flat and boring, repeatedly saying that she was “half-caste”, the authors words, not mine, as if that made up for everything else.

The sci-fi elements had potential. The social credit score was interesting, and the AIs drew my attention, but I don't think either things were used to full advantage.

Overall, not something I enjoyed, so I'm afraid I won't be sharing this one.

I received this for free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
