Summary

We’ve all had those nights where you close your eyes and before you know it your alarm is sounding and it’s time to start another day.

“I must have slept” you tell yourself as you rub the dust from your tired eyes, but looking into the mirror at the bags appearing under them you find it hard to believe. Your body aches with tiredness at every step but you must have slept you tell yourself over and over. You must have slept.

But what if I told you that you hadn’t slept?

What if I told you that time was disappearing?

That it was being stolen.

Weird little story! In a very good way

This was a weird little story!
At first, it reminded me a little of Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mendel, but, after a few chapters, it was something else entirely! A dystopian future where time is being stolen was a very interesting premise, the actual story was even more interesting. It was weird, and part of it remained unexplained (The Light II is the sequel. I haven't decided yet if I'll read it or not), but I actually really enjoyed it. I don't think I can explain it better, it's one of those reads you have to pick up and read for yourself.
The only problem is that there is not really a conclusion to the main plot and we are left hanging, wanting to understand better what really is happening. If cliffhangers are not for you, even if the sequel has already been published, then this is not for you.
On the contrary, if you enjoy weird little things, curious and mostly left unexplained, I think you'll enjoy this quite a bit.

I do love a dystopian listen and this was interesting. it took me s while to get used to the narration but it worked in the end.

this was an interesting premise and it wasn't too ,ya, for me.

looking forward to book 2.
