Holy cow what a mindfuck! It’s January 2 and this is probably the best book I will read this year which is kind of depressing 😂 You are better off not knowing too much about the plot going in but I would compare it to 2001: A Space Odyssey, Interstallar, and a dash of Passengers. Do yourself a favor and listen now!

Jeg starter med det vigtigste - LÆS DEN HER BOG! 😍🤯🙏🚀"The Darkness Outside Us" tog virkelig røven på mig! Jeg troede, jeg havde fået fat i en hurtiglæst sci-fi romance om de to teenagedrenge Ambrose og Kodiak, som ikke kender hinanden, men vågner op i et rumskib sammen. De forsøger desperat at finde ud af, hvad det er der foregår - måske er den eneste måde at overleve på, sammen. Og det er bestemt ikke forkert, men bogen er så meget mere kompleks. Og jeg vil faktisk ikke fortælle mere om handlingen - for det her er sådan en bog, som er allerbedst, jo mindre du ved om plottet! Plottet er som rummet; uforudsigeligt, truende men også smukt. På de første sider af "The Darkness Outside Us" bliver der spurgt “am i alive? are you?” og det sætter virkelig tonen for hele romanen. Man spørger konstant sig selv; hvad vil det sige at være i live og hvad betyder det at være menneske? Læs den!!!

It was so extraordinary! The whole experience was just so ambivalent and original! I have mixed feelings in all the best ways. Plot twis was unexpected, but I also didn't expect feelings that this book made me feel and thoughts that I have after this. It's honestly amazing and so well done. I was almost hipnotised throuhout the whole book. 5/5 would recommend. ❤

This is such an amazing book! I would never label it YA, there is so little of the corny YA tropes in this book and so much more everything else. It's a really good sci-fi, but it's also about the human experience. It grapples with questions of one's existence and grief and and hope and just so many things. It's mismarketed as YA and I hope it finds its way to all the adult readers who skip over it because of that.

Very original, intense, with a lot of plot twists. Really surprising book!

So many twist and turns. I was hooked all the way through. Like a mix of They both Die in the And & Seveneves, I'd say. Loved it!

Oryginalny pomysł. Świetni lektorzy. Czekam na tłumaczenie na język polski!

Den här var verkligen en positiv överraskning! Oväntad vändning och spännande, men också charmig.

One of the best and most brutal books I’ve ever read

I was not prepared! Loved it 😍
