CONTAIN SPOILER To Sleep in a Sea of Stars
note: i’m only 3% in reading To Sleep in a Sea of Stars
i HATEE how Fractal Noise ended bc I fell in love with Alex and the whole group premise was i believe a very realistic one if something similar would happen. the fact that we don’t get to see Alex’s progress after the whole thing and the chemist guy (i don’t remember his name) if he got his leg healed and could walk in the two days long park or not 😭 AND I expected to find the answer in the 907 pgs book but to find out that discovery hole of Talos VII happened 20+ years ago 😂💥🔫
