The way the entire plot comes together in the end is so satisfying and aweing. I didn’t find it confusing and overall felt like the entire story wrapped up perfectly, even though it took me a bit to process the ending.

A pretty interesting read. It definitely reminded me of Cloud Atlas in terms of structure, but more coherent or cohesive. Each of the main characters was good and fairly tragic.
The references to covid-19 were interesting. It was... different, I guess, to have a book written during/soon after the pandemic to reference the pandemic as a point in time/of history, rather than a history-defining event.
I particularly enjoyed the final section of the book. It did a good job of bringing things together in a satisfying way, while also still adding something new to the story.
