I really loved this book! I felt like the ending was a little rushed in comparison with the pacing of the rest of the book, but otherwise a fantastic read.

Bradley somehow managed to make a book about time travel predictable and tedious. I enjoyed some of the characters very much, but the narrator was frustratingly dumb.

This one may require a reread to fully enjoy it. Perhaps I took too long of a pause in between fits of reading it. At times the language and diction went right over my head, but most of the time I found the craft of this book riveting. Overall I loved the story. It was compelling, messy, and fascinating.
