28 minutes in and i’m already frothing this book ✨✨✨✨✨

listened to this twice because i didn’t concentrate properly the first time LOL but holy shit this is actually really interesting

okay this is such a wildcard read for 2025 but i’m so excited

I LOOOOOOVED THIS.

hmm mane i’m just in a mood today but the first 75% was great… and then the rest took a nosedive and felt very accusatory of ‘this generation’ (especially in regards to patenting styles), and then used elon musk and jeff bezos as primes examples of “extremely hard working” / why they’re extremely successful (and NOT in the way of saying they’re narcissists lol) …hmmmmmmmmmm

okay he’s heading into some territory that i don’t necessarily agree with 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃 (but im not qualified or a parents soooooo idk lol)

i think this book may have rekindled my love for dystopian / action / thriller novels ?!!!? especially ones that don’t centre around romance lol …like, i forgot how engaging they are !!!! i’m feeling the same excitement reading this is as i did with the hunger games or divergent series way back when !! funnily enough, i never read the maze runners… but i will now😭

oh i’m 10000000% buying the physical book ; a warning manual 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

i’m cackling while listening to this because it’s BANG ON

this is so exciting omg

predictable, but i loved

i wish i could read faster omg !!!!

this book is quite literally (so far) the modern equivalent of jurassic park… with dragons 😮‍💨😮‍💨 it’s not some magical fantasy shit - it’s like matthew reilly went “ahhh that [JP] was a fantastic plot… now how can i make it political and technically NOT dinosaurs” also the main character/specialist is a woman which makes it all that much more bad ass???

i now have a greater appreciation for the 2010 disney adaptation of the christmas carol featuring jim carey and gary oldman 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

wow, little [2020/21] dani didn’t stand a chance reading this book when she did. she most definitely took this pot of gold and flipped it into something so terribly dirty while in a terribly dirty situation… i’m so glad i’m rereading it now & through a different lens 😭😭😭

okay we’ve finally reached ✨the big reveal✨ and tbh i’m not even mad at how predictable it’s been so far… this is quite lovely :’)

genuinely didn’t expect to be enjoying this as much as i am?????

okay yep i’m already understanding the MR hype 🙂‍↕️

FINALLY feasting my eyes on a matthew reilly novel !!!!! also, a cheeky lil, matthew-reilly/obsessed chef told me to

first read (2021) - paperback
now - audiobook
next time - paperback again with serious annotation 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️
