How High We Go in the Dark

I was hooked onto this book initially, but the more I read, the less engaged I found myself becoming. I had not read the blurb so it came as a bit of a surprise to see a familiar pattern (the narrative structure of Cloud Atlas sans the changes/shifts in linguistic styles).

There's A LOT going on, like each chapter could be considered a book/short story on its own with all its intricacies, independent yet displaying connections to each other. I could sense how ambitiously this novel may have been written, leaning more towards environmental sci-fi, and addressing a lot of the issues prevalent as of today (plus some relatable feelings as well having experienced a global pandemic)
