this was delightfully refreshing. The idea is original and interesting, the author gives us enough detail to make sense of the world but not so much that it becomes burdensome or tiring. The characters are all so familiar and close, and I felt myself get quickly attached to Odile’s success. I appreciate that the ending brings closure while leaving an openness appropriate for the situation, and I am SO glad, that for at least some time, Odile and Edme get their happy ending however brief. I think all of the labors Odile suffered makes that all the sweeter. Overall well done, I only wish it were just a bit longer. But that’s me being greedy. The language of this text is beautiful, the subject matter calls us to reflect and consider in thoughtful ways, and look at grief under new light.

DNF at 67% I just couldn’t slog through this anymore.
A thought experiment as a novel. The first half is theory, the second half is application.
The lack of dialogue quotes makes for a confusing read, especially since it’s told in first person perspective.

This is a really unique speculative novel. I really loved the characters and the world and its rules. The ending is not what I expected at all. Great novel.

The concept was a very interesting take on time travel, and I liked the story and writing style. Overall a quick read despite long passages of description and not much going on in the middle. Beginning of part 2 really lost momentum for me, but the ending picked up and I still enjoyed the book.

Started off slow. I did like the end. I just thought this story was going to be about something else entirely so I was a bit disappointed in that.
