So I’m not really sure I’d classify this as sci-fi. It’s much more sci-fi fantasy. Purely because killing yourself with a memory in mind doesn’t equate to time travel.

The initial section was quite boring honestly. Once it got into the time travel and alternate universes it was a quick read. The last two chapters they were just 50 pages of a POV were a little painful. Especially Barry’s. By like the third timeline I was over it and just like, save the world already.

The epilogue was… interesting. I liked the open ended need of the last line.
