I cannot give you a solid reason why I ate this up but there’s no denying that I did. I listened to it all in one go.
As I said while reading, it felt like next to nothing actually happened. A lot of thinking and a fair bit of talking. The thinking and talking is done suspiciously sometimes to add a bit of flair. Things got a bit twisty at the end but not in an exciting or adrenaline fuelled way. It unfolded as part of another long, convoluted conversation between two characters.
I won’t lie.. the theoretical physics, time, black holes and astral plane discussions were way above my station and outside my comfort zone. I’m fairly sure the actual scientific content itself wasn’t too heavy or dense as I managed to follow the general gist of most of it and trust me when I say no one is more surprised by that than me.
