It was worth reading, but my impressions are mixed. The style didn't quite appeal to me; in my opinion, there's too much chaos, surrealism, and obscure terminology. I understand that this isn't a bug, but a feature, and it works well for the atmosphere, it's just not quite my thing. On the plus side, there are some interesting moments, cool alien worlds, and absurd ideas that I enjoyed. But overall, it could have been better. 7/10
Sergei Lukyanenko - "Draft," "Clean Copy" (duology)
There was a lot of hype about the movie, so I decided to revisit this author I used to love. I remembered why he's no longer my favorite. If you read one Lukyanenko book, you've read them all; everything is sad, boring, and monotonous. Good setting ideas are mixed with monotonous plots, uninspired characters, and a general sense of chaos and inconsistency, giving the impression that you're reading the same book over and over, and you can no longer see the difference between the author's worlds. And there's this obsession with modern realities and dreary descriptions of what the protagonist ate and how he went to the bathroom. Plus, I've gotten used to more engaging literature. Overall, it's not very good, only for fans of the genre, but I can't say it's as bad as Metro-35, and I don't regret reading it, I would have been too curious. But I've decided that I probably won't return to this author. 4/10
