It’s strange to me that I hit the 70% mark and the book hadn’t done anything with its premise.
Even weirder, I praised it for getting the hook and premise set at the end of the very first chapter.
And then literally—the book isn’t about the fact that there’s a multiple. The multiple is literally asleep until the 70% mark or complaining about food.
That said—I did like a lot of the world building and backstory in failed and successful worlds.
I almost wish the book was more about the guy who cloned a bajillion of himself and took over an entire planet and basically declared war on the universe.
Like, I can actually see a movie in that.
As for the book—I also think, on the flip side of your point, that it’s missing the depth and thoughtfulness of what it means to be a “clone.”
I’m thoroughly surprised at how little it played with its premise. It’s baffling to me.
