4.0

Extremely impressed with Crouch’s ability to thread the needle of a timeline heavy story. Lost a star because I didn’t fully connect with the characters - they felt a bit flat. Great descriptions that make you feel as if you are also there experiencing the end of world-the nuclear fallout scene is extremely graphic.

This is a time travelling book
I wanna make it clear because it wasn't clear for me and had I known I wouldn't have picked it up (I hate time travelling) .
It's a bit repetitive, and some dynamics i didnt quite understand, but  despite that, it was enjoyable.

If you want something that's a bit like Steins;Gate, that's the book for you.
