Last to Leave the RoomLast to Leave the Room by Caitlin Starling
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I think I wanted to like this more than I did. Maybe if it was not so much a character study revolving yourself versus your doppelganger and being awfully undefined and slow about it, I probably would have enjoyed it more. The plot was pretty much not there.

That being said, I fully realize it's supposed to be an atmospheric novel, and I should have fallen for the SF-nal aspects a bit more, perhaps mistaking it for an Area-X kind of thing, but it really didn't stand out too much.

This wasn't Luminous Dead, alas. It was okay, but just okay.



Personal note:
If anyone reading my reviews is be interested in reading my SF (Very hard SF, mind you), I'm open to requests.

Just direct message me in goodreads or email me on my site. I'd love to get some eyes on my novels.
