I loathed this book.
It was lazy; it was boring. It was pedantic.
It was all telling and no showing. The characters were bland. The explanations were contradictory and usually circular. It felt like the author just kept quoting mild Google facts and shoving them into the story. I've read school history books that had more vibrancy.
I couldn't invest in any of it. A cardinal sin for a book for me is if it is boring. This was a chore, but a great text to pick up if you want to know how to write something so completely drab while thinking you're a genius because it definitely felt like the author was patting themselves on the back with how clever they were.
I love science fiction, and I adore stories about time continuum. This was such a disappointment.
