The Doors of Eden by Adrian Tchaikovsky
4.0
adventurous dark hopeful mysterious fast-paced

Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes

The book starts slowly and almost feels like it is just going to be a "normal" story, albeit each section includes a short chapter about an alternative timeline that the universe (and specifically, Earth) has taken.  But as you read on, you realise that these timelines are coming together.  A clever book, and it has been a while since I read a 600 page book so quickly.
