Interesting to say the least. Great beginning and end. The middle drags immensely yet there was something, the beautiful prose, the Americana, the anticipation of a payoff which just kept me reading. Not necessarily a book I would recommend because it wasn’t exactly to my taste and not even close to the taste of anyone I know.

A truly gripping story with a lot of layers. First you have the interesting backdrop of an earth on the brink of destruction, then post-scarcity and then scarcity again. The story is part the result of those events. Secondly, is the distinction between magic and science and we get that through a sci-if/fantasy mashup. Lastly, we have the effects of loneliness, unresolved feelings, and self-belief. Quite the cocktail.

Really fun world building, lore, and variety of characters but essentially a not too deep sci-if action tale. Fun, cool, and easily digestible.
