Rosewater (The Wormwood Trilogy, 1) de Tade Thompson
This book spends way too much time on world building and not enough time on plot. While the audiobook narrator was wonderful, the book spent so much time on details that it was hard to stay interested.
I rather enjoyed this novella about the Mollys. I am not sure if I would classify it as horror or science fiction but it was a quick, fun read and I recommend it.
Sometimes you pick up a book and just know it's going to be good, which is the feeling I got reading the first few pages of Rosewater. It's set in Nigeria, with a mysterious alien dome occupying the centre of the city. The main character's memories and present experiences converge over the course of the book effectively, as we learn more and more about him and his life. And we learn he's not exactly a model citizen - the book pulls off an unreliable narrator very well.
There are some lofty concepts in there, such as the pseudo-internet that psychic characters can tap into, and they're introduced very gradually, never feeling like the author is dumping info on you, but developing into lucid dreamscapes before very long.

Great continuation of the Rosewater trilogy. Very much looking forward to the final instalment, out in October I think.
