TWINMAKER BY SEAN WILLIAMS

Picture
Clair’s world has been destroyed – again. The only remaining hope of survival is for her and Q to enter the Yard, a simulation as detailed – and as real – as the home they have lost. But in the Yard there are two Clair Hills. The other Clair is headstrong, impulsive, suspicious – just like Clair herself used to be, and their very existence is causing cracks.


As Clair searches for a solution, a surprising new ally emerges from the ashes. Together they fight their way through the digital and political minefield in the hope of saving Jesse, her friends and the whole of humanity.


A stunning epic conclusion to a mind-blowing adventure about what it means to be human. - Abooktopia
Fall was a great wrap to the Twinmaker trilogy as it was action packed, taking on a new view point from not one, but multiple Clairs. I love how each Clair was slightly different and unique in their own ways due to their experiences, and past selves. Each character was amazingly complex with their own motivations, creating an intriguing conflict between them.

In this particular novel, Claire and her comrades are trying their best to undo all the worlds problems. Even though Clair has lost favour with those that surround her, after she destroyed the world, doing their best to makes things right. But this proved to be extremely difficult, yet they never deterred or gave up. There were times when I as the reader became confused as I couldn’t quite follow up on what was happening as it's quite a heavy science read.

Though the world was destroyed, there was still respite lives within a virtual world known as the Yard. The Yard was originally created by Wallace where he manufactured a new reality, bringing back the scans of dupes from the past. Friends and foes have been regenerated, and whispers that run through Clair’s head with shear warnings of a world outside cause quite the dilemma. But Clair is no longer stable. There are glitches in-between the rifts from her and her dupes. Copies of herself taken from scans shortly after the height of improvement.

Though there was a less world building in this novel than the previous two, it still provided to be fascinating. Twinmaker was truly an incredible, unique world filled with original ideas that questioned human morals and ethics. Overall, I would highly recommend reading these books in order as they are quite complex, and do require your undivided attention.
***I received a personalised signed ARC of this book in return***

It does happen quite a bit, especially if you don't have a firm understanding on how science works. But overall it's still an amazing book with well thought out ideas.

Mhmm definitely. I do adore science novels as they're about the future, but I ain't no science geek. Which is a shame.

Neither am I but I sure do wish I was. That way I would be able to enjoy the bliss of reading a science fiction novel even more than I do already. Plus I would finally understand all those damn complicated terms.

At least we have some basic knowledge, and that is enough for me. Or at least I think XD

I still have yet to read that series. I've been wanting to ever since it was first released and now there's a movie out. I'm so behind on my TBR list. Oops...

There's three books in the trilogy and Fall is the last installments. At the end of each review there are links leading to Goodreads of each of the novels so you can find out more information about them.

I adored the new scenery as it was something I hadn't read from before, and the multiply Clair's were intriguing.

Yes I did in fact. Sean Williams was kinda enough to offer me an ARC when I met him at a book signing, mailing it to my address. I also received the final copy from the publisher.

Thanks. He only offered to give me an ARC specifically as I had emailed him prior to the book signings requesting for a referral to his publisher for a review copy for my book blog. And behold, he remembered me and offered to mail on to my house when he got home after tour.
