What I liked:
  • Multiple POVs
  • Great character development—the Barry and Helena you meet in the first few pages isn’t nearly the same ones you encounter at the end.
  • Fast paced with engaging writing
  • The science aspect—I’m a huge science nerd and really enjoyed how there was an even balance of science and plot throughout.

What I didn’t like:
  • Also the science aspect—at times I had to reread the same paragraphs a few times because I really wanted to make sense of the science Crouch was writing about. I’m not a physicist so who knows if anyone of it’s accurate, but I really wanted to be able to follow it and sometimes it felt a bit too dense (but it didn’t affect the plot).
