We Have Always Been Here

Full Video Review to come!
This was a great and engaging debut from a new author. It had all the right creepy and deteriorating beats of something strange happening to the crew and I was really intrigued from the get-go. I really enjoyed the timelines and the video transcripts that added a really cool layer as well as the stream-of-consciousness writing style when in Park's head. I like the different discoveries made that kept the book going and really tough to disengage from. It was a thriller through and through with a wonderfully executed scifi feel.

We Have Always Been Here is a gripping sci-fi thriller that twisted in unexpected directions and kept me hooked all the way to the end. There's a real palpable tension and delirium infused into Nguyen's writing that enhances what could have been a straightforward thriller into something much deeper, sharper, and stranger. I'm excited to see what Nguyen writes next, as this was an excellent debut.
