Told in bites

I love this style of writing. The story is told through interviews and logs from all the different characters points of view. There is a main interviewer throughout the book that is very straightforward, curt and sly. You get to know the individual characters by their interactions with him. I had no idea what I was walking into with this book and immediately ordered books 2 and 3 when I was done.

Why is no one talking about this?

This story is just too incredible! It’s written in the style of an interview which I had never seen before and I wasn’t sure I liked. However, as the story went on I fell in love with that stylistic choice and the mystery it kept throughout the book. If you want something sci-fi, mysterious, and very well thought out, you’re gonna wanna pick this up! (Low 🌶️, low 🩸, mild 🙊)

Book Warning!!!

The premise sounds great but this book is formatted like an interview. Ex: Question? Answer.
