I’m big into scifi, probably 80% of my bookshelf over the years, so was excited to read “Full Dive.” As I title my review, I “Retained [the] sim[ulation] even after reading.”
Tom’s website.
I beta read for Mr Rain, then, because I loved his story so much, bought a dead-tree version to reread.
I found myself so immersed in the story, that, for several minutes after taking a break from reading, I saw my real world overlaid with the simulation he produced in my head. I don’t think I’ve been that immersed in a story for years, possibly decades, and can’t wait for his next novel so I can do the same.
