Given that the protagonists are called Dante and Aristotle and they are supposedly discovering the secrets of the universe, there wasn't much philosophy involved. There were so many things that were brought up for a couple of pages but never really resolved. There were so many characters with amazing backstories that don't get any time in the book and everything just feels bleak. This could have been a master piece that turned out to be quite a let down.

And that ending! How can you possibly end a book like this. I need more. Do not give me that happily ever after shit. I do not buy it!
