This sounds like a unique storyline for sci-fi lovers! I enjoyed reading your excellent review! I am curious about the relationship aspect of the story, and about what six did to cause his own death. Thanks for the recommendation!

I love that touch of realism in fiction. Great review. I might give this one a go.

This seems a unique blend of elements from different genres in which the future of reality itself is at stake. Thank you for your great review!

Hmm! Your review has just successfully made me fall in love with the book.
From the weirdness if the Luna world (where everyone comes out as an adult and numbers used to identify lunas in place of names) to the agape love shared by six and eighty nine and how the death of six affected eighty nine's paradigm, I can safely submit that this book is going to be one hell of a ride... I look forward to reading it.

Just from your review I'm thinking, "What could Six have done to be so bad?" but also "Are there people that might tear our reality as we know it?" That kind of conflict makes for an interesting book and if it's written well, I'm sold. Awesome review!

Wow, this sounds like a great read. It's hard to write good science fiction books and to convince the reader of its possibilities, so I'm very eager to read a well-written one! Thank you for your great review.

I wonder why the author chose numerical namings for the entities. It would be a fun to know about this reading this book. Thanks for the review!

The author must have been really talented and creative to question if it's fiction or not. I also think the plot is very unique! The book had me at number names and instant adulthood. Great review!

It sounds intriguing. You mentioned an open ending, does it feel incomplete?
