I like your honesty in this review. The book seems interesting enough. Perhaps the author should have worked on the plot a while longer before finishing it and sending to the publisher. Maybe he was under a deadline?

This book sounds like there are a lot of intricate story lines interwoven. I’m curious to check this one out!

I tottaly agree with the review in that the writer does indeed leave key elements and back ground missing a lot of the time.

I feel like the stories concept has a lot of potintial but perhaps someone else, or a later time shall bring it to it's full capacity.

As I do enjoy science fiction I have to agree that there seems to be too many plot lines going on in this book. I enjoy fiction and sci fi as well as drama, but the plot twists seem a little overly dramatized in this on for me

I love stories with a diverse cast that clash in the mid or end point of a story. It's disappointing that this isn't the case in the book, though it still caught my eye. I like that the author picked compelling subplots and backgrounds for each character, such as one being accused of murdering her father. I also find the world building interesting, so this may be up my alley. Thanks!

I would like to read about Wolfe's adventure. But the 3 different plot lines and stubbed ending if the book puts me off a bit. Great review.

While I do like a good dystopian novel, too many storylines going on in the same story can sometimes get confusing. I do like a good story that can do a good multiverse story, which I have found hard to find. I look forward to checking this out further.

I'm not a big fan of space stories, so I wouldn't read this book. Three plotlines sounds interesting, though.

The premise of this book sounds interesting. A sci-fi thriller with characters whose storylines weave into a superb finish would have been great. The story sounds promising so I hope the author rectifies the short comings pointed out

ok that's a good review and yes scientific fiction is what most people think the world might end up like that or what if the world ended up like that. The ending part should be a thrilling ending making the reader want to know more or if there would be another part to this book, anyway 2/4 is worth something.

So the novel is rated 2 out of 4 starts. That doesn't sounds like a great reccommendation, I'll probably skip it.

The author should get some reviews or proof reading from other authors before sending it for publishing, that would help to make this book a stunning read for fiction lovers.

I enjoy reading mafia related book but when it's combined with the science fiction genre, that's when I get turned off. Science fiction readers will enjoy this one.

This sounds like a wonderful and fascinating read. I am sad that the author could not resolve all the three plotlines. Hoping that the next instalment in the series will do just that. Thanks for the review.
