Awful, horrible story

The whole book is as if the author had absolutely no plan writing it, and he was just stumbling from one concept to the next, abandoning concepts and introducing new all the time. It was super boring and uninteresting. This is less a story and more a jumble mess of insane stuff the heroine experiences or can do.

For a sample (spoiler abound below):
- She has cancer
- the cancer is a physical box in there head
- she makes the box disappear by thinking it
- she can self-heal anything by thinking it
- including gunshots
- she can think herself to health even after a headshot that blows half her head away
- she has a split personality
- her split personality takes physical form! She basically mutates to this other person
- her other personality (that she mutates into) is a man...
- ...and that man is Houdini!!!
- AND not just Houdini, but a homicidal version of him!?!?
...and many more stuff in fact.

Do yourself a favour and skip this one. It is NOT "so bad it's funny" regardless of the stupidity of the above.

Also, I don't know if you're turned off by this, but the author has a lot of remarks against "the woke culture" strewn all over the book. I can ignore the odd comment in a fun book (I like Larry Correira a lot for example regardless of his horrible politics), but this was a really really awful book, with bad political comments making it cringe-inducing.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
