    *a couple google searches and skimming over three sci-fi backs late*
    The more I read over it the more I like it; it’s briefer than the backs I read in sci-fi but fits with the more dramatic/mysterious summaries that are getting pretty trendy especially in thriller and mystery styles in any genre and it has an energetic three-part voice-shift while actually explaining what the book is about (my pet peeve is reading the back in a bookstore, library, thiftstore etc and being like “ok but what’s it about?”, although–in all fairness to marketing–that usually does make me flip through the pages or skim over the first chapter in which case I either get sucked in or lose interest)
    But I think the best thing is it meets expectations and reflects your general style *I looked you up to see (also YES IT’S THAT ONE I READ THE FIRST PAGE BEFORE MY INTERNET DIED AND I GOTTA KNOW WHAT HAPPENS!!!! I wanna know more about that convict’s past and how he got into that situation and his internal conflict with his loyalty to a villainous criminal and being an overall decent guy!!!)*
