Dark Matter presents an intriguing premise—an unknown substance that alters the prefrontal cortex, leading the protagonist into an expanded version of Schrödinger’s box that he built. The box sends him on a journey through a corridor, a direct pathway to the multiverse, offering infinite possibilities. The concept alone captivated me and was the driving force behind picking up the book, especially after being so impressed by Blake Crouch’s previous novel, Recursion.The story begins with Jason being abducted by Jason2, an alternate version of himself from a universe where Jason2 has succeeded in creating the multiverse portal. Jason2 takes over Jason’s life, forcing the original Jason to embark on a mission to return to his own world, to his wife and son.The early chapters were engaging and full of potential, but the story quickly began to lose momentum. As the plot unfolded, I found myself growing bored. The pacing became repetitive, and Jason’s character, while central to the story, lacked the depth and complexity I typically look for in a protagonist. His emotional range and development felt flat, making it hard for me to connect with him.Another drawback was the unresolved arc of Amanda. The novel leaves her storyline up in the air, leaving readers to wonder what ultimately happens to her. The ending was also disappointing—it felt rushed and lacked the emotional payoff that I had hoped for, given the promising setup. While Dark Matter is an interesting concept, it didn’t leave me with the same lasting, awe-inspiring feeling that Recursion did. Ultimately, it’s a fun and thought-provoking book, but it falls short in terms of character depth, and emotional satisfaction. For that reason, I’m giving it a generous 2.5-star rating.
What?!!!!! That was insanely good!This has entered my top 5 books of all time…What an incredible story.I did not go into this book thinking it would be my next 5 star read. I LITERALLY could not put this book down, I HAD to know what happened next. I don't think I've ever read a book so fast before as I have this one. This is the first book I've read by this author and it will not be my last. I would recommend this to everyone. Everyone must read this book! It was easy to follow, I was gripped from start to finish. The chapters are long… SO LONG but it didn't bother me at all. But it is something to note going into this book. Absolutely fantastic
