I enjoyed the concept of the book. I didn’t like being constantly reminded that Ryland Grace was a teacher as if I couldn’t remember that between chapters. There was way too much of this beating me over the head with simple science and reminders of things that happened earlier that it took me out of enjoying the story.
Yeah it was like that all over. The characters are more or less wooden planks and it feels like the reader is being treated as a kid. A bit 2010 and later Discovery Channel. I still personally really enjoyed it but I can see it's shortcomings
