I wasn’t able to finish this title, as I struggled to stay engaged with the story.

The prose felt underdeveloped, and the tone didn’t always land for me. I also found the dialogue somewhat unnatural at times, with character interactions that felt abrupt and lacked realism.

Although several key characters are introduced early on, I didn’t feel they were given enough depth or distinction to make them particularly memorable.

Additionally, the geopolitical elements didn’t fully work for me. The portrayal of events in Ukraine felt oversimplified and not especially well-researched, which made it harder to stay immersed in the narrative.

I’ve rated this 2 stars, as the central concept is interesting, but the execution ultimately didn’t work for me.
