Temi's degree in neuroscience feeds into this book so much as it explores the implications, good and bad, of a chip in our brains. How it can be used for helping mental health, connecting people, but also the chance for exploitation, the risks of using prediction algorithms on our private thoughts. What happens when someone decides your guilty before you've even thought about committing a crime? The space taken up by this means the plot can be a little slow but overall I enjoyed this thoughtful story.

The idea was good, what if someone found a treatment for "zombies" and they were reintroduced to society but they were fully aware of their actions. The flashbacks were great, but the story at the music festival didn't seem fully fleshed out. There were several things that didn't seem convincing and I don't think there was enough time elapsed between the trauma of the Hollowing and the present day for it to really work.

patchworkbunny finished reading For the First Time, Again by Sylvain Neuvel
This was a bit different than the other books, with a Kibsu and Tracker pairing up. Much of it is told it Aster's young teenage voice and it gives the whole thing a more playful vibe. Even though there is violence and danger.
Oh and if you've read the Themis Files, make sure you read Epilogue II after all the other extra bits!
