The first 100 pages or something were slow, trying to get known the new world and people, then stuff started to happen and couldn't let the book down. Then it slowed down a bit again, still interesting. I had last pages left and I was a bit confused how the book was going to end, didn't except anything. It left me speechless.

This is probably my favorite book at the moment. The way the story unfolds is so interesting and complex. Each character had their own stories even if they weren't the main character and it was tangible. Its definitely a bit long winded and takes a while to pick up speed, but I don't think it would've been as impactful for me if it was fast-paced. It left me with so many conflicted emotions in the best way possible.

La historia no logró atraparme completamente y el narrador no ayudaba en hacer la historia más dinámica tampoco.

An amazing book, unlike anything I’ve read before - Glukhovsky has created a fascinating world with intriguing characters. Definitely creepy and scary at times, love the way he plays on the fear of the dark.
Would be even more interesting to get a grasp of the world from the view of more diverse characters - at the very least, women.

I was really looking forward to read this because I love scifi, so I had great expectations. The scifi part of it was good. Not great or fantastic, but good. 
Still I have such mixed feelings about this book. 
It was soo slow paced and boring, so many descriptions and unnecessary subplots. Also character/plot holes - what happened to Hunter for example? It wasn't totally scifi, had some magic or fantasy moments that weren't explained, what happened in the tunnels in the start?? 
ALSO THE END? EXCUSE ME? WHAT HAPPENED THERE????? I NEED ANSWERS!!!
But I really liked the internal monologues of Artyom and I feel like a lot of people forget about this but he had such deep and meaningful thoughts, it was so great to read about it and tbh that's what saved this book for me.
