Time travel books generally make my head hurt, but I got through this one to the end without having any questions, although I admit the circular nature of time travel did get confusing at the very end. But because of that confusion, I’m now wondering a whole lot of new questions regarding the future rather than how-in-the-worlds, which are the normal questions I struggle with when confronted by this circuity. It wasn’t clever. It was even a little sad. But it was redemptive and satisfying.
