Once the protagonist (a cybernetic enhanced human) gets moved out of her comfort, she's getting pushed around for the rest of the novel. It's action sci-fi.
I read nonfiction only for years. Now, I'm getting back into fiction.

A fairy tale or a myth with deep, evocative scenes through scent. If 'Perfume: The Story of a Murderer' is too intense, the dark base note in this tale is balanced by hopeful and bright top notes.
Brown is a guilty pleasure for me as an aspiring literature connoisseur. But it seems he's getting better. I enjoyed the ending and the premise. Beware the literary device of character-finds-something-amazing-but-the-author-doesn't-tell-you-to-keep-you-engaged; he uses it like 11 times. A pet peeve of mine.
