I am sorry to say that nothing about this book really grabbed me. The concept was cool – in an alternate future Nigeria, a dome is built by aliens for mysterious reasons, which keep themselves in and humans out. The dome opens every now and then and makes changes in humans who happen to be nearby, seemingly at random. Some are healed of lifelong ailments, while others are changed into mindless beasts. Meanwhile some other humans, like narrator Kaaro, have developed various extrasensory abilities; some work on behalf of the government, some against, and some are just out for themselves. This book was dense with ideas but the telling was a little too wordy, losing me among the rambling paragraphs, and the occasional interludes of grimdark or body horror were extra jarring in contrast. The timeline is also confusing, jumping back and forth between Kaaro’s past and his present. The big reveal, when it came at the end, would have been far more effective had I managed to care even slightly about the characters, or if there had been any kind of logic underpinning their actions.
