God. That was fucking sad. Beautiful. Poetic. Touching. But sad sad.
Lots of climate commentary that is cold and hard and painful.
Really good characters. Interesting perspectives. Nice snippets of history. Cloud atlas style.
But ultimately people fighting the inevitable force of change. And losing. Man makes plans and the gods laugh.

What was the point of all that? This is no feel-good story. There's no deep meaning that is revealed at the end. It feels very contrived.
Took a bit because of the multiple characters, stories, and times, but this was phenomenal. The themes woven throughout and the way he ties the characters all together. Plus the sense of wonder when describing books, libraries, passed down stories, and how small we all are. This was marvelous and one of, if not the best book I've read this year.
This book was so intricately woven and the stories being eventually intertwined and intercepted with each other was one of my favorite parts. I truly enjoyed the journey I went on while reading this book! It was a top tier read- very deserving of all the acclaim and accolades it gets. I def would recommend all to give it a read- it did start off a bit slow for me in the beginning but push through and it does get better as you get more engrossed in each character's history and life.

I don’t even know what to write I am blindsided by the emotions this book made me feel. I truly didn’t expect that the Argos was on earth, before it was revealed I was stressing so much about having to read Konstance’s ending. How everything tied together was amazing, I loved the writing. I really really like this book and I wasn’t expecting to love it as much as I did. I cried for Zeno. If I had to choose, I would say that Omeir’s part of the story as he was traveling to the siege was my least favorite it is the only part I feel could’ve been shorter. Because I enjoyed his character and his life when he gets back home but I wish I had more of it from when he got back and his life with Anna. Rex’s character was so tragic but I would love to be a researcher with the same amount of passion. I could keep rambling but I’ll stop because there was too much that made me feel.
