Femi Fadugba

I can see how this could be interpreted as a good book

If I had stuck with this book slightly longer than the just over halfway then perhaps It would have got into it’s own a bit more: but I have a rule with my books - once I’ve read it to halfway, then, and only then, may I stop reading it. And all throughout the book, although there were clearly climaxes (which were really anticlimactic) the book just seemed to be happening: as in there didn’t seem to be anything very important, and show more the entire plot just drifted past me if I’m being honest. In particular, I found the alternate time periods rather confusing.

If executed properly, then I am really fond of mixed media, and alternate time periods, point of views, etc, but This just seemed confusing, and I constantly struggled to see how one was set in the future, because it’s attempts to show advancements in technology were lost in an effort to explain the series, and Fadugba made no attempt to explain this, so frequently when I started a new chapter, I had no recollection of what had happened previously.

Also, although the idea of the Upper World being real is perhaps a good idea, it wasn’t executed right, and it was never clear, show less

i didn't understand half of this but it was actually pretty neat ngl
