At no point could I have guessed where this book was going, it definitely had that major captivating element where you couldn't put it down and just wanted to keep turning the pages, even if it was 3am and you had to be up for work in a matter of a few short hours (not like I am speaking from experience or anything...).
Despite this being firmly in the land of sci-fi, this book is also full of emotion and heart. Our main character, Jason, feels a level of desperation as this book barrels towards its conclusion that anyone who has experienced true and authentic love can relate to. It was simultaneously heartbreaking and also deeply inspiring. It raises so many questions about what you know about your life and what you would do to find your way back to your life if it got ripped away from you in one traumatic evening. The reader is cheering along as Jason truly goes to the ends of the world (er, multiple worlds?) to try to get his wife, son, home, and job back.
I think fairly obvious here but this one really had me gripped. I finished it in two sittings and honestly it could have easily been all at once if I hadn't started it at midnight.
Yes, this book can be dark, but the journey is totally worth it.
