Started as an entertaining read, although I couldn’t resist a multitude of eyerolls. After 75% or so it plummeted to 2 stars, sadly. The devices the author uses there to get to the point they want and to connect the dots are unnecessary, slightly artificial and plainly annoying to me. The premises is so appealing and awesome. The execution is a letdown for me, mostly the present day storyline.

Can be used for a drinking game, for every time a character gasps or feels a certain sensation prickling on their skin.
