The Paradox Paradox by Daniel Hardcastle
3.25
adventurous funny fast-paced

The Paradox Paradox has all the things I like. Time travel, time travel paradoxes, fast pace, humour, an interesting presentation of the story (chapters aren't in chronological order), more humour.

I was aware that due to the titular "Paradox Paradox" things might not be logical in any way, but the mix-and-match of different time travel tropes still confused me and I was more underwhelmed than satisfied with the ending of the story. 

Due to the non-chronological way the story is told, it was hard to connect with all of the characters. Some weren't part of the story for large chunks, then came back close to the end and I had to remember who they were in the first place. Maybe another read through in chronological order might solve that problem?
