Decided to read The Amber Project (The Variant Saga #1) by JN Chaney. A self-published book I received free back in April 2016.

<sigh>

I enjoyed the blurb more than the book. Slow pacing with no real surprises. Predictable outcome. Not much there to keep me reading. An underground city has been done before and the author added nothing new. Also, 7 year old boys don't act this mature. Teenage boys don't either. Still, the writing was passable and looking at all the 5-star reviews, I'm glad to see many others enjoyed this. However, I gave it a D+ [2 stars].
