Another book review

[meirwen_1988]

Reset by Sarina Dahlan

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I'm not really sure how I feel about this book. It raises complex philosophical questions, but always stopped short of really working through them to focus on the romances (both emotional and physical) so I often felt a bit like it was a "bait and switch" narrative, which was annoying.

It's an intriguing premise, and the writer writes well, so there's that. And the book isn't terribly long. As a post-apocalyptic novel, it was brighter and more optimistic than some...unless you really think about the foundations of the civilization and really examine the mechanisms that allow it to operate. But, then, that's the meta-point of the novel, I guess.

I can't be more specific without including the kinds of spoilers I hate to see in reviews, so I'll leave it at that.
