It took a good long while to get going, but I persevered, and the ending was well worth it. If you choose this book, stick with it!

When people say that a book changed them, I never really understood what they meant. Until I read this book. As someone who contemplates existence on their free time, this book was perfect for me. It made me really think into the meaning and psychics in life and the universe.

The characters were amazing and felt so real. Especially the protagonist. I even found myself liking the villain sometimes. The relationship between the protagonist and the villain was so unique. Even though it was different, it still made sense.

Overall, I loved how innovative the story and its characters were. Not only was the world building and characters so real, but the progression of the story was so genuine. Everything made sense.

I love how this story deals with time travel in such a unique way. My only issue is that Harry is kind of obnoxious. I think that's a problem with immortal/omniscient protagonists - you get to a point where the stakes aren't clear and the motivations don't have the same weight.
