3.0

i fought to finish this. the violence became frequent and bloody by the end, there were word choices that were questionable
(the leaves were demoralized??)
, and i got sick of all the dialog. the was less of a time travel vibe, more so a play on groundhog day.
i found the seemingly endless reiterations of the same scene from different perspectives exhausting.
i should have left this alone after i dnf the audiobook version a few months back. i was three chapters from the end this time and i almost dnf the ebook.  in short, THIS WAS A SLOG.
