Excellent idea and execution. HG wells eat your heart out. Looking at that story through a woman’s eyes and colonization felt essential. It was bold and mysterious. I’m embarrassed to say I didn’t see the twist coming, though it was right there in my face. While I always prefer happily ever afters, this story was told how it would more likely happen and I think it’s a great story to stay up all night and enjoy. Highly recommend!
