I loved this book!
I got this as an audiobook because I liked the sound of the plot description. I'm a biomedical scientist (3rd year student) and microbiology & genetics are my favourite areas of study. So reading about a virus that killed 99.99% of the human population really appealed to me. And I was not disappointed at all. This book isn't the kind of book that has a super exciting blurb, but then turns out to be more about the main character's love life. This book had some love (Kira has a boyfriend - not a spoiler), but it was so little compared to the science-y story. I loved reading (hearing) about life after the break, the Voice, the Partials. The big plot twist wasn't a total surprise to me, but I think it was intentional. There were hints along the way.
So yeah, I definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves dystopian. I can't wait to read the second book.
I think this is one of the weaker books in the series, but I still liked it. Only two books left now. :(
Yet another dystopian novel that I really enjoyed! This book has three POVs; Alina, Bea and Quinn. It did get a bit confusing at times, especially when the chapters were short, but it was alright most of the time. Sarah Crossan managed to make me develop real emotions while reading the book. I hated certain characters - not because they were badly written but the opposite: they were really well written. I liked Bea a lot. Probably because I could relate to her the most, and she was so kind towards Maude Blue. I loved that this novel was set in Britain instead of America. A world without oxygen is scary.
There is a LOT of infodumping in this book, but the dynamics of the Checquy and Myfanwy's notes from her pre-memory loss self are so intriguing that it makes you want to continue reading even through the long passages of descriptions and dialogue.
I've always been fascinated by twins/triplets/multiples, so I came by this book by searching goodreads for “triplet books” or something like that. I clicked Sweet Venom, found out it was about triplets and greek mythology plus it was written by an author I've read and enjoyed before and I was like “Bingo!”.
So yeah, I got the ebook version, read it, loved it and now I can't wait to get the sequel and spend more time with Grace, Gretchen and Greer.
Btw, fave triplet: Grace (she's so much like me)
Jeg var rett og slett hekta fra første stund. Det var mye som skjedde hele tiden og den var utrolig spennende til tider. Historien fenget meg også veldig, siden jeg synes det er veldig spennende med verdensrommet, framtiden, nye planeter osv. Alt var veldig detaljert og godt beskrevet, så det var lett å føle at man var ombord på Godspeed sammen med Amy og Elder. Og når den store hemmeligheten kom ut, så følte jeg også at jeg var berørt av den. Utrolig bra! Et lite trekk for at av og til var litt forvirrende med stadig skifting mellom Amy og Elders synspunkt...
