Sagent
An Orbiting City Hundreds of years ago, a meteor struck Korea and spread a microbe that devastated human life and warped living DNA. As people rushed into the orbiting city of Destiny, some of the microbes infiltrated the new community. People separated out into the Drops, the lowest part of the city prone to microbes, and the city proper, safe from the deadly microbes. Travel between the two is strictly prohibited in order to protect Destiny, but a few people slip through. A New Survival Although the microbes kill most people they infect, some humans are able to adapt and are known as Sagents, or sex agents, recruited by government and private agencies and forced into lives of espionage and seduction. The microbes give them strength, intelligence, and extended lifespans, and their agencies take advantage of those traits ruthlessly. A Struggling Sagent Gabriel is a sagent just starting his career, already scarred by his previous agency. When he accepts a dangerous mission to the Drops, everything starts to fall apart. Isolated from his agency and not knowing where to go, Gabriel must choose between returning to safety and Destiny, or staying and forging his own path.

DNF. I got through about 71% of the book but I was unable to finish it. I really tried to like this book, it was different from the usual plethora of books that I’ve read. Don’t get me wrong I like different, but with this I couldn’t get into it and I TRIED. I won’t list to many things that bothered me because I didn’t finish the book and I don’t know if the author redeemed themselves.
The world building was good, but I didn’t get a very good picture of how the world was constructed. Nor did I get a really good grasp of how, why or progression of the current world. While the information was given, I felt it was so much info but not relevant info that would bring it all together. (Hoped that made sense😅). Lastly, I didn’t connect with any of the characters, usually I become so invested in a story I don’t want the story to end, but 🤷🏽♀️.
On the other hand, the writing and sentence structure was good, a few errors but nothing that really stands out. It’s a unique story and that’s always a good thing, many books are becoming copies of older publications so 👍🏽 to the author.

Surprisingly good
Not familiar with the author, but I picked up this book on a whim. Not a big fan of all the torture and rape, but the storyline was excellent. The plot was nicely balanced and moved along at a good pace. Plenty of action, sex, and mysteries, along with clever world building.
