Livesuit blew my mind
I’m very new to audiobooks/books in general so I only have Dune and the Expanse series as comparison, but I’m shocked after finishing livesuit.
Not even how it adds to captives war, but the way they told and set up the story in general. I just keep thinking of all the little nuances.
For example, Mina turning against the military later on in her life. The scientist discovering something horrible the government is doing. When I first heard it, I was like hmmm interesting additions to the story but not sure of their relevance at all. Especially knowing from mercy of gods how brutal the Carryx actually are. I easily shared idea that “this war has to be fought obviously??” The same way Kirin was thinking.
Then jeez to just leave it at the very end where he picks up Piotr, I’m still sitting there thinking “why didn’t Piotr seem to respond to being lifted up??” And then yup, the absolute horror to find out the scan is showing basically all black.
Now I’m left with so many thoughts and revisiting parts of the story. Who else isn’t even alive anymore? Who else already knows this while still being alive? Just honestly wtffff???
Im sure my exact thought pattern is exactly what the authors were going for, but since I’m new to books/story telling this was my first time being so shocked. Even compared to all the expanse novels and novellas, this truly just blew my fucking mind lol
