One of my fascinations has always been with time loops, so it was fun to see one in this novel and explore the concept of whether our actions actually affect time or if what happens once is bound to be repeated over and over again. The novel looks at both theories at times which makes it super interesting.
Stuart Turton also does a wonderful job of exploring the different hosts disabilities as well as their strengths. Where hosts may have physical impairments or a harsh background, the main character also uplifted and emphasized parts of the hosts that were helpful.
Additionally, the novel has a very hopeful message and tone to it despite the dark themes and concepts it explores. The hopeful ending and tone make getting through what can be a tedious novel (simply because of the twists and turns and time jumps) so worth it at the end.
Overall, I feel completely fulfilled by the ending and still pondering some of the world-building elements. I have so many unanswered questions including in what time period was this even taking place? Yet, not having these answers adds to the overall mysterious and foreboding nature of the story.

I tried making multiple guesses about the things that were going to happen in the book but I was often wrong. There were a lot of twists and turns and I definitely did not see the final twist coming.
When I started reading I thought it would be a four star book at most but it really delivered. When I got to the final day I was worried that all the plot holes would remain holes, but Turton made sure that everything got wrapped up in a neat, tidy bow.
I loved this book and would read it again.
