jaded asshole of a lady detective. lesbian angst. time travel shenanigans. a fucked up hotel. dinosaurs. snarky drone AI with googly eyes and a new zealand accent. what's not to love honestly. it gets a little too chaotic by the end but i had fun :)

What an utterly fantastic book. Beautiful, heart-rending, absolutely sublime. The action scenes are striking, the mystery is gripping, the portrayal of grief is profound. I could not put it down. Needs to be a movie ASAP.

I know this book comes with a lot of potential triggers, but it’s tone is, ultimately, hopeful and healing.
