A Dying Machine Novel Discussion (SPOILERS)
Posted: Wed Dec 05, 2018 11:04 pm
Hey all, I pre-ordered the book awhile back but finally just got around to finishing it, so I wanted to start a separate thread for those who have read it (and hopefully not spoil anything for people who haven't).
I admittedly wasn't sold on the story for about the first half, but the second half had me hooked! Not only was it much more interesting, but it seems like almost all references to songs on the album don't happen until later in the book too. I assumed I knew what all the songs referred to, but I was actually really surprised by a few - especially As The Silence Becomes Me. Turns out it's from the point of view of Rhapsody, not Brennan, which has a big impact on the song for me (not necessarily in a bad way).
