Watching Amanda's public humiliation isn't garnering sympathy from me but it is interesting.

I know I'm not supposed to be, but man I am team stalker so far. Amanda's life is a wonderful rich person fantasy but I can't help despising her.

Sounds like this MC has had life handed to her. Not exactly an endearing quality.

Starts off like the Netflix show "You" with the stalking done from the stalker's POV.

A little slower to start but this reminds me of those Hardy boys books from way back in the day. Also it's 1972, which makes sense BC nobody's on their phone.

Project Drinking straw is interesting but I kinda don't get how the tattoo beetle works.

Technicians have carefully wired millions upon millions of items together to create processing facilities that exceed anything ever made before. It is a work of necessity. I suppose my stolen smartband is somewhere in halls like these. I suppose it is for the greater good.

I like how thought out this is.

This line, in context, is quite chilling...

Out in the street, one of the youngest boys started crying, so we rushed through the gates to help him. He was pointing at the water gushing up from the drains. Hideous beetles and other creatures scurried towards me. The smell was awful.

Funny line:

“What?” Lauren almost screamed at Sara, spinning around to face her. “What did you think was going to happen here? I let him go, and he reforms his ways. Maybe, settle down with a missus fish monster and have little fishy babies and a white picket fence here in hell’s flooded basement!”

Also Lauren appears to be growing more ruthless

Aww I wanted more of this Kaiju fight between Leviathan and Cheetenoose. One paragraph is robbery.

Cool development!

her irises had transformed into an unnaturally bright silver, her pupils reformed into a peculiar diamond shape. Unlike the slits of a cat’s eye—Lauren’s pupils retained a rigid diamond shape as they expanded and collapsed into crosses when they contracted

The progenitor as a character had potential but the execution wasn't quite pulled off. The slight missteps here land a wrong note, but thankfully it doesn't last long.

I liked this moment with the jade ghosts.

They glided silently around, just under the water, giving the lake a look of having globes of glowing green light, meandering off in the distance.

From a storytelling and psychological perspective, the chapter where Lauren meets the 'monster' in the cherry blossom stream is by far the most interesting character work Lauren has displayed.

Lunar is a most unexpected character in this book but I found him refreshing compared to Lauren. I hope we see more of him.

Fiber optic cabling dangled down, like lacerated sinew from the edges of a ragged wound, cut through what would have been another false sky ceiling of Hydro World.

Cool line!
Also Jason's back, as a jerk monster. Boo!

Following the whirlpool sequence, which was pretty cool, I found this great line.

“Lad, why must you emotionally assassinate us every time we catch a break?” Jack asked.

The humour doesn't always work but every now and them there's a line that sparkles.

That sequence with the Pool abomination was tense and exciting!

Hahahaha I love this sequence!

In fact, more fleshy stalks noisily erupted from the thing’s open skull, made from what used to be brains, topped with even more vicious-looking lamprey mouths... “We here at Hydro World apologize for this inconvenience,” the Leviathan system said in oblivious sincere ton
