Dark Matter is a book that seemed right up my street and Blake Crouch has quite a few books that I knew I wanted to start getting my teeth into at some point. So when Martin who follows me on Tik Tok very kindly surprised me by buying me a copy from my Amazon wish list, I knew I wanted to prioritise it as a read.

The Less Year was kindly sent to be by an Instagram follower who said they were partway through the series and really loving it and wanted me to give it a go! It's a story set around a post-apocalyptic world where the world has essentially crumbled and humanity is left a shell of what it once was.

Recently I've been on a huge science fiction kick, something I noted in my ReInception review. Therefore, when I was doing my research into what some of the best science fiction novels are, Asmimov's name kept popping up and his Foundation series kept popping up the most often. In fact, I think somewhere I read it referred to as "the best science fiction series of all time" which is quite some praise. Therefore, I thought "Perfect, this should scratch my itch!" But did it?
