Nomad Scry

Overly simplified, the core idea of this book is silly. So I prefer not to simplify or spoil this one and simply say, “Read it.”

I like the ideas and there's nothing wrong with the writing, which is on part with the prior books, but there are too many characters and too many of them are Culture ships. Perhaps it's just a factor of the audiobook medium but the communications between Minds were opaque and confusing.

Freaking fantastic. This story had me hooked and emotional all over the place. Blue is a fantastic white room character and every other character was so interesting and full of nuance. I loved how certain things are just plunked down on the table and only later on do you find out just how baldly stated they'd been.

And I love a good finish and this one... the last sentence was such a great teaser. Can't wait to listen to the next one.

Speaking of listening, I normally hate Will Patton's accent when I see him in movies. And it irritated me for the first few hours, but he does really great character voices, so I forgive him. Ha.

Just a bit mundane compared to some of the other YA Distopians I've been reading lately. Suffers a bit from the main character being less interesting than either of her matches.

One of the few, if not the only, books that has actually scared me.
