The artwork is amazing, but I couldn't stick with the story.

More fragments of story based on beautiful pieces of artwork by Simon Stålenhag. As the narrator is older than Tales From the Loop (this is a sequel) things are a little darker. I still feel like the book doesn't quite nail the nostalgia aspect of the alternate past. But it is still beautiful, and haunting, and enjoyable.

Surreal. You’ll keep asking yourself, how did I never know about this history? Then shaking your head and remembering it’s not real.

This sequel was a little more disturbing, just so you know.
