I've only read the book, haven't seen the series. I wonder if I'm alone in my opinion - the book has a great storyline, great setting, ideas and concepts, but all the interactions seem to be heavy-handed sarcasm, and that gets old. It's almost like someone put a sarcasm Instagram filter, or applied style transfer to pretty much every interaction. I mean I get it, it's supposed to be gritty and noire - however, "edgy" (just like spicy) can't be the only flavor in a dish.
- maxerickson 9y agoI don't think it is that far out that an ex soldier that literally had their personality deconstructed is a bit jaded.
