I wasn’t expecting such a gripping blend of suspense and character development. The pacing is relentless, pulling you deeper into the web of secrets, and the twists are genuinely unexpected. What I really loved was how the characters grew..just when you think you’ve figured them out, they reveal more complex layers. The blurred lines between truth and deception made it hard to know who to trust, adding a great sense of tension throughout. If you enjoy fast-paced thrillers with depth, this one won’t disappoint!" - Dana "Ambition and strategy underlie everything in this book, in a complex web of authority and technology. The characters work their way through an aspiration against an overwhelming opposition, making this a captivating read. I also felt that early in the story, the dialogue between characters plotting a secret rebellion created tension in showing depth to the revelation of awareness of their failures in times past. The cautious attitude in gaining allies sent me thinking about the risks of challenging authority." -KC
