Ok, so I‘ve read Woom before this which is probably the reason why was always on edge, waiting for YIKES moments that didn’t quite happen that often, at least not in all their glorious detail. That’s not the books fault, tho! I really liked the setup and that I didn’t have to go though 300+ pages of exposition until things started to get going. What I noticed, tho: I didn’t really care about most of the characters because I barely got to know them, so whatever happened to them didn’t quite phase me. The only character I was rooting for was Henry, really. Heh, lucky me! I was surprised when the book ended so suddenly, I wanted to tag along some more because things just seemed to get REALLY interesting! Dear author, if you ever write a sequel, I would grab it as soon as it came out. I‘m invested now.

I'll deliberately don't write about the plot in this post because I think I would've been more impressed if I didn't know that before reading. All that exposition doesn't happen in the beginning of the story either. And I guess reading lots of horror and splatterpunk in general gave me another disadvantage - I just wasn't shocked by anything. I do see certain parallels to "The Jaunt" by Stephen King, and King works for me everytime because he gives you time to connect to his characters even in short stories. Regarding "I Have No Mouth...", I just wasn't invested because it's so short. It paints an important picture about AI and supercomputers, tho.
