WOW what a fantastic book!! I'm glad I went in knowing nothing about it. The main theme of
time travel
totally snuck up on me and gradually revealed itself in such a fun way. It was a perfect mystery; some things I was able to figure out and felt very rewarded about being right, and other things caught me totally by surprise. A must read for sci fi enjoyers!

This book wants to be Cloud Atlas without understanding what was good about it. It has some almost-good ideas that are underbaked and way too much of the author talking to the audience in a way that should have been a blog post.
