Can't really tell if this is a genius piece of work, utterly complex and confusing, I am too dense or a combination of all the above.
I like how it jumps from perspective to perspective and "time to time"; but there are so many names, nicknames and places going on that I had a hard time remembering who was who and who did what and when.
It ends kind of abruptly and although I got some answers I feel more lost than after reading the first book
I'll read the last instalment out of curiosity, but it is a weird book
Interesting sci-fi book. Reminds me of 80s sci-fi stories.
Reads like Ken Liu writing some version of "The Nightflyers" by George R.R. Martin story in King's "The Dark Tower" universe.
IMHO I think people have over hyped the book. Is not bad, has an interesting narration and the story guides you nice. But still not amazing in itself.
It's an interesting rendition of Gatsby.
The "mystical" elements make it "fresh" and the story moves at an ok pace.
But overall the storytelling feels disconnected, I felt like I was being tumble from place to place and time to time without a purpose.
It wasn't a dreadful read. But I wouldn't go over it again.

Honestly very flat book with even flatter characters.
Not even the "big surprise" characters shown anything surprising.
The book doesn't add anything to the genre and is just a remix of Twilight and City of Bones with a sprinkle of Omar other YA books. But the worst parts of each.
The book reads surprisingly slow most of the times and parts and the parts that should have taken longer (e.g. character growth, bond between characters and even the book ending) happen stupidly fast.
Honestly I was surprised when the cook ended. There was not an interesting twist at all. It was like reading Scooby-Doo
Then the very last paragraph is supposed to give some sort of unexpected surprise to get us hooked, but it reads very simple and in the nose.
Can't be bothered to even read a summary of the rest of saga
