Carter Moore rated ★ 9/10
Exactly the kind of complex, action-packed, scientific thriller you would expect from Dan Brown. The focus on noetic research is fascinating, and the tightly woven perspectives make for a read that is hard to put down but gives you a lot to think about. While some characters felt a little flat, and the book was a bit drawn out, I really enjoyed it!
