What a heavy and intriguing read. In the vaguest way it reminded me of outlander, and going into it blind, I was pleasantly surprised at the sci-fi turn it takes early on. Was so eager for it all to end, but when it did, it felt so sudden. A book I think I’ll think about for a long time going forward.
