When I was put on furlough at the start of Lockdown, I was ecstatic. For as long as this lasted, my days were my own to do as I wished. And that meant writing!

And so, on Day One, I sat down at my desk and started working.

An hour later, I had to stop. That was it. I’d run out of steam.

I enjoyed this book, but felt it only really got going in the second half. There is a really good story here, with a core concept that’s incredibly interesting once you reach it. However, I don’t feel that the set up and initial feel of the book gels that well with the second, much better, half.
