Review of 'Archivist wasp' on 'Storygraph'

2 stars

Suckered again buying a book at 2 am because all the reviews gave it 4 or 5 stars. Gah.

The protagonist isn't so much a character as she is a bundle of complaints. The idea of "ghosts" and the callback to a pre-apocalyptic world with a supersoldier is never really credible, particularly the science gadgets the ghost has, and the ending is ridiculous.
