Each person they offer is a commentary on how they see you. I don’t like this because … well, when people matchmake, they introduce people to you whom they think are sufficiently like you. “Bola knows I am single and has made it her mission to find me a mate. This first quote was pretty early in the book and it is my favorite. Later in the book, someone washed ashore claiming to be from the United States and I want to know what happened to him and what he has to say.įor not being in love with the book, I still found a lot of quotes I really liked. This is because of what other nations have called Drawbridge, the ultimate Trumpian fuck-you to the world.” Around the world there are colonies where Americans are granted protected status, but nobody can get into or out of the States. Nobody has heard anything from North America for forty-five years. “This America mystery has been going on since I was a child.

But what makes me actually want to read the next book the most, is what happened to the United States? Also, the aliens called “floaters” were intriguing, intense, and scared me a little. The Biodome and its “powers to heal” were very interesting and I would like to read more about it. The main character, Kaaro, didn’t pull me in enough. I wasn’t looking for a series and didn’t realize it when I picked this one. Rosewater is a trilogy but I’m not sure I will continue to the second book. It might have been because I was listening to it right before my vacation and I I found myself drifting a lot while listening to the story. I didn’t find it annoying so Bayo Gbadamosi must have left a good impression on me. I did notice his voice and some of his phrases were stuck in my head long after I stopped listening. It could have been for character development though because Kaaro tried to distance himself from situations emotionally and seemed a little depressed. At times, I didn’t think there was enough excitement or emotion in his voice. After a while, it seemed a little monotone. I liked his voice at first he had a nice Nigerian accent. I listened to this audiobook on Audible narrated by Bayo Gbadamosi.
