Love to read! All things!

Though sweet spots are Science Fiction and Fantasy and humorous Young Adult stuff. I generally read in bed, so my preference is for less stressful stories. My favorite stories that ones that are both Quirky and Unexpected.

Due to book experiences being very dependent on the reader, I belive that reviews should be short.

Amazing concepts, a little too epic

I'm a big fan of qntm, this book has the their trademark wildly unique world. But the story got a little too big in the final third and I felt like it kinda fizzled out some. Recommended if you like the genre.
