Thank you to the author for this book in exchange for an honest review
Synopsis:
Three decades have passed since a mysterious illness brought on by quantum entanglement suddenly decimated the human population. By harnessing quantum entanglement mankind had tapped into a dangerous power able to alter the very matter of our existence.
Samson long ago gave up searching for his family and now wanders the earth with no purpose and avoiding entanglement with other souls. But then he meets Selene—an orphaned, but strong and independent girl. She sees in him what he has forgotten. They journey together toward a utopian island only rumored to exist. Along the way they meet others also seeking to overcome the obstacles of the age, but in their own way.
Will Samson help Selene to make her way in this dangerous world, and will she help him to find his lost humanity? Or is Samson already too far gone, a relic of the previous age
Review:
Ages of Entanglement was one of those books that felt you feeling slightly haunted after it was finished. The incredibly symbolic book was written in a poetic, short poem style and provided short increments of stories that pretty much summed up how technology could one day destroy us all.
The characters were human and were portrayed to be realistic with flaws, fears and vulnerable which added to the book, a little.
Whilst this book was well written I have to admit that it wasn’t one of my favourites as I think the overall meaning of the story was lost in the paragraphs, this book would have done fantastically if there was more words and depth to it. I found the paragraphs to be wondering or just a collection of thoughts to the author rather than an actual book.
Sadly this wasn’t for me.
