This is the first book I have read from this author and I can honestly say I hope to read more soon. Matt Benjamin did an incredible job of weaving this adventure into life. He hit all the points for a great novel, a likeable character who I rooted for from very early on, an intriguing plot that kept me on my toes, a well thought out world with plenty of unique aspects, and a love story to make any romance reader swoon.
My favorite aspect of this story was probably the love story. I found the love story in this novel, set in a fictitious future world with plenty of adventure and high stakes, to be incredibly authentic. These characters and their 'will they won't they' dynamic immediately captured my attention.
This book had all the feels though, not just romance; the ache for freedom from repression, the fear of losing loved ones and one's self., the excitement of mystery. The author did an incredible job of giving me information when the story called for it, while holding out just enough to keep me up late at night to read just one more chapter. This book was an experience, and not one I will soon forget. I highly recommend We Are Icarus to any reader.

Editorial Reviews
“A testament to the ability of story to communicate meaningful ideas, "We Are Icarus" explores a vision of our future with a grounding in the timeless, to give perspective on our present reality. A fine addition to the dystopian canon that will fit comfortably next to Orwell and Huxley on the shelf.”

"Unputdownable! I completely tuned out the world and read this book non-stop. The immersive world-building and characters had me captivated. Matt Benjamin does a fantastic job of pulling readers in and leaves them thinking about our own world trajectory."
"We Are Icarus" juxtaposes the bleakness of a controlled, virtual world against the unpredictability of human nature. It's a vivid exploration of what it means to be alive in a world where technology blurs the lines of reality.
