Interesting World without a fitting story
3 stars
I decided to read this as I was interested in the dark atmosphere and intriging world. And in that aspect the book definitely delivered. The muscovy Metro is split into different factions with internal conflicts determining the actions of their leaders thus shaping the whole Metro.

In my opinion it sometimes feels like the author prioritised showing of this cool world instead of writing a tense story. And I thought some scenes were really weird but that might just be me.

Well if you're interested in the world you should definitely think about picking this up! Especially if you want an adventure discovering a post-apocalyptic Metro.
Cupo interessante

Un libro che riesce a trasmettere molto bene le atmosfere cupe e prive di speranza di un'umanità che per sua stessa mano è finita a vivere come ratti, nascosti alla vista ed ospiti in un mondo che non gli appartiene più (se mai gli fosse appartenuto). Ho ahimé trovato il finale troppo "sbrigativo".
