4.5 Stars

Wow, I was blown away by this book. I was hesitant to read because of the topic and length but so glad I was granted a copy. The opening starts out very wordy, but beautifully written. At first I thought, this may not be up my alley but sure enough I stuck with it and so glad I did.

Quick Synopsis: Proctor is living in Prospera where his job is to "ferry" those whose numbers based on something like a microchip are are dropping(numbers as in quality of life etc) and close to retirement to embark on a new journey. All is not what it seems for sure.

Proctor as the synopsis mentions is feeling something is amiss and is trying to decipher what is wrong. We see him meet all sorts of people from Prospera, the Annex and then the Nursery. How does it tie together and is there a bigger picture in play? The answer is YES!! And its great!

What I liked:
***character development was awesome as was the plot, felt unique
***how each part while different tied together
***Story just flowed without any breaks and it kept me wanting more

What made me not do 5 stars? That ending just, while excellent, confused me a bit and while it didn't ruin the book I had to scratch my head. But seriously 5 vs 4 stars is still a fab read. I did also feel some in the middle got repetitious but overall this was super well written and so glad I got the chance to read. For a 500 page book this read was super quick.

I would give more detail but I went in blind and think that is the best way to go. There is a touch of so many diff genre's in this mostly focusing on sci-fi but also relationships. It pulled these together super well and I think worth giving it a shot if not your typically read.

On a side note there was a point where two characters were discussing books…MC mentions what makes that book good is because you are so immersed in it, nothing around you is prevalent. So true with this book

Thank you for Netgalley, the Publisher and Author for my chance to read this excellent book.
