Carlo Rovelli

What? Woah… huh?This is going to haunt me for a while. The world really is more than just “stuff.”

Alex Michaelides

Okay, woah. That was one of the craziest twists I’ve ever read. I love this book.

Blake Crouch

Okay, getting this out of the way. I had this book spoiled because I watched the show with some friends before even knowing it was a book.That, I believe, ruined the immersion for me. It was devastating reading and just knowing what was happening next. I hated it so much. I can’t even rate this book right because I was so disappointed that I expected everything. It felt like driving a road I’ve driven many times before; looking for landmarks instead of being in wonder. AGH. Anyways, I adore this book. I want it to be in my top five so bad, it just didn’t emotionally carry me because of the spoilers (ToT). The quantum mechanics, the themes, the actions, the psychological element, the suspense, the science, the ideas, it ALL is just perfectly lined up to be something I love. The story was amazing. I am still processing it, but perfect book, would recommend to any and everyone.

Lian Hearn

Was a great story. Definitely want to continue the series. I loved every moment of this. Probably didn’t pay the best attention to the audio book, my bad for listening during work hours.

Stephanie Garber

Okay, woah. I enjoyed this book SO much. Now, it didn’t stand out as anything personally special, but it was so good from an author’s perspective.The way the main character describes her feelings in colors was so original and inspirational. It made the writing immersive.The world itself, the empires and caraval itself were so fascinating. I needed to know what happened next and what showed up. (And I NEED to know WHY they say “by god’s teeth” PLEASE STEPHANIE PLEASE.SPOILERS AHEAD:As for the story, again, woah. Not only was there a twist villian, surprise! the twist villain turned out to be not a villain, which was both refreshing AND captivating. The characters had complex layers. And those layers got ripped away into something else. And the way it was done SO cleanly was impressive.So many stereotypes. Lots of romance and blah blah blah, the story felt rich inspite of that. I don’t know romance, was recommended this as a starter, and it has set the bar HIGH.I could go on and on about this book. Thoroughly impressed, majorly enjoyed. Will for sure be continuing the series.
