Thank you so much for the compliment!! I'm glad you enjoyed the review. The bit about the female characters was something I simply could not overlook either. Thanks for stopping by and commenting!Devika menon wrote: ↑29 Jun 2019, 00:04 Thank you for your great review! Your summary of the book drew me in. However, I am glad you mentioned that female characters are sexualized. I wouldn't be able to tolerate that in excess in a book.

Thank you for the compliment! This is the first one of his books that I have read. I'm very much looking forward to reading more. It's interesting to know that similar themes run through his books. Thanks for stopping in and commenting!chiefsimplex wrote: ↑30 Jun 2019, 00:54 Bizarre and twisted is what makes Tysz's work interesting.His prediction of the future of humanity although bleak, in all his books , they are woven with spectacular ingenuity.Thanks for such an interesting review.

I haven't read much of her work but I agree that about there being evil in the world and that is, indeed, unfortunate. I tend toward the dark dystopian end-of-the-world book myself but to each their own! Thanks for stopping in and commenting!Abacus wrote: ↑30 Jun 2019, 15:47 I liked your review of this book, which I also reviewed. It is unfortunate to believe like Agatha Christie that there is evil in the world. She had no illusions although her cozy mysteries are more fun to read, than dark dystopian end-of-the-world fantasies. All in moderation....
