Stefan Avramov
Main plot is way over the top, didn't make much sense. Some cools stories here and there, first one made me physically sick, so that was something.
Interesting characters and setup but I found the plot lacking. It just follows a direction that gets reached eventually, nothing more.
Has some moments, but overall a subpar attempt at surrealism. The “crime novel” element of it does no favors as usual.
Dumb concept, extremely annoying writing style, nothing makes sense, can't think of a single redeeming quality.
- 1/10 to Kojima's literary taste having read 200 books per year and then praising this one
an ok sci fi murder mystery with way too many irrelevant scientific details that make it even more peculiar since overall it all made little sense
Generic story, painfully dragged out pacing, overall boring and disappointing, especially compared to the first book.
Promising start that quickly deteriorates into mediocrity, filler content and loose ends.
Firstly some are brilliant, secondly some are meh, third to last slightly ignorant, feeling a strong 4, tran-
-1 to the author's giant ego, -1 to some parts being non-science while presented as science
