Wow—this book was truly thought-provoking. The Image weaves together current events, politics, religion, and cutting-edge technology in a way that feels incredibly relevant and timely. I find myself thinking about its themes after I finished reading, especially as real-world news unfolds.
There’s a lot going on in this story, and that’s part of what kept me so engaged. Each chapter made me eager to see how everything would come together. Although this is the third book in a series, I jumped in without reading the first two because I won a free copy of the ebook in a giveaway. I had worried I might be lost, but the author did a great job of filling in key background details from the earlier books, so I never felt left behind.
It’s a dense, intelligent read—one that challenges you to think deeply while keeping you hooked with fast-paced storytelling. I’ll definitely be going back to read the first two books now!
