This is a gentle, patient story.
I love stories where gods have a sort of neutral view on humanity and only a little bit deal with humans’ problems. All of the dialogue is kind and generous while still being fun and realistic. The chemistry between the friends is well-built-up-to and believable.
There is definitely a threat simmering and some suspicious behavior from some characters and some cool twists, but actually, I really didn’t find myself craving a ton of action or drama – it was really lovely to see Morgan struggle with knowing which memories are is, but then, go on this journey with some friends and actually for the first time pretty much ever, MAKE some memories. In that regard, I wanted the pacing to go slow and I wanted to watch Morgan absorb all these details, and I was cheering for this group to stay together and keep doing fun things like go to the fair and the beach.
