While it didn’t completely blow me away (I found the ending almost a bit anticlimactic?) it was a super fun romp through space and time. The author does an excellent job of setting a scene and making you feel like you’re in it. And I appreciated not being spoon fed what every piece of tech is, what every event in history leading to the world we’re in was, etc. Sometimes I find that there is so much world building that needs to happen in sci-fi that I’m bogged down with the who, what’s, and where’s of it all. I liked that Alex White wrote as if the reader already knows what’s going on in the world(s) in which the story takes place, and left it up to us to fill in!
