Review

Manipulation is the craziest most evil thing in the world and that’s exactly what this story shows. That if you have the power, you can act like a god and control everything you can. This was a very dark and intriguing story with a concept I’ve never heard of anywhere (unless I missed it). Though there were cringe-worthy moments due to the very sensitive topics that were tackled like human trafficking, incest, and other types of immoral conducts, the story was unique and well written. Hence, I’m giving this book 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it to mature readers who love science fiction.
