I listened to the audiobook. Wow. This story dragged on for a really long time. When everything is revealed I thought “oh I must be getting close to the end.” No. I was only 50% through the book. I keep listening because I needed something to listen to while I was doing chores around the house.

If you watch/read enough time travel fiction you can guess what the solution is pretty easily on. It was a very frustrating listening to them fail over and over again. Just go to the first timeline idiots. That’s always the solution. I also did not understand why Helena had to go back with all the memories alone. Barry could’ve done the same thing and it would’ve saved Helena from having to explain everything to him. I also did not like when Barry was explaining the meaning of life. 50 cent did a better and more concise job in his song “Many Men.”

Too long. I also remember not liking Dark Matter by the same author. Maybe their writing is not for me.

A fascinating story that revolves around humanity, technology, and exploring what we are all capable of. Slightly too rushed in the beginning and too long in the end, but overall an enjoyable, worthwhile read that is both entertaining and will stick with you after you're done.
