THE REVIEW:

I really don’t know how to begin with this one.

I listened to the audiobook and read on Kindle at the same time, this was nice as I find this works great for my mommy brain and helped me concentrate on the story. Believe me when I say I WAS FULLY INVESTED.

This book was nothing like what I expected it to be, and it almost became my first 5-star read of this year! So without further ado let me tell you what I could gather from my thoughts lol they are still everywhere, bear with me.

This is the story of humanity and how one person and “his unexpected friend” try to save it, and not only. We follow the disastrous consequences caused by something that is eating away the sun’s energy, and the Earth is facing an apocalypse if nothing is done about it. What can we do? How can we do it, and where is the solution? Well, Stratt will be thinking about that, and she will do one hell of a good job, I don’t care what you think about her, she did the right thing, however morally grey her approach might have been had I had been in her place I would have done the same thing.

So far, so good. We have the means, and we have the crew, but will it work out, or will everything just blow up in our faces?

Man, I really loved how the story begins and how Ryland is slowly regaining his memories, and we go back and forth between the past and the present. This is done amazingly, and the whole science part was just wow. The scary part of it is that it could actually happen! I don’t know about the accuracy of the science in here, but you can tell aaaa ton of research has gone through, and Weir, my friend, you did a brilliant job conveying it in a science-for-dummies way to us poor creatures.

I am honestly still recovering from what I experienced. The humour, the whole plot, the twists and turns were great and very well-written! I just loved the relationship between Ryland and Rocky. The science, how everything was explained and worked out in the end. Was just great.

This book really was soooo close to getting my first 5-star review! It just came short due to the too many twists part. They were a tad too many for my liking, and I was expecting to see what actually happened to Earth during and after… I hope there is a second book tackling those topics I would be beyond happy to know more! It feels incomplete to me…

Ryland Grace, Rocky, Hail Mary, Blip-A they all have a special place in my heart now. Damn, even Stratt does and those “children” at the end ah man…

Overall, this book received 4.5 stars.
