Well written and an interesting enough set up, but I'll never completely love anything with elements of time travel. My own fault for not reading reviews, though.

Wholly original and unlike anything I had ever read before. Some of the early sections dragged and I struggled to get through those world building pieces. The last 200 pages flew by though, so that made up for it.

Wibbly wobbly timey wimey. 
Most definitely the best book of 2023.
I am undone knowing this is an unfinished series--and would do anything to reread this for the first time all over again.
Audio ch 41 I think restarted near the end. If you encounter that chapter: skip to about 7 min left and you'll be where you need to.
