review
I don’t know how it’s possible to inject so much humor into a thriller about a cult led by an AI, but Naomi Kritzer not only did it, she knocked it out of the park! I really really hope there are more CatNet books in the future, because these first two have flown to the top of my favorites list! Just like the first book, CHAOS ON CATNET featured amazing pacing, FANTASTIC queer representation, and a plot so good it’s physically difficult to stop reading! Read this as soon as you can everyone! It’s AMAZING!
Many thanks to Macmillan and Edelweiss for letting me read this early!
