Honestly, if this wasn't my buddy read pick of the month, I would have DNF'd this one hard. I can't tell if I'm just uneducated or if this book was only directed at super smart people who are into math. I love a sci-fi book with a lot of science about space travel and time travel, but this one was just lost on me. I didn't understand most of the science that was talked about and it seemed to sort of bog the story down.
I felt like there were 20 different story lines all going at once and not making any connections until the last quarter of the book. I found the whole thing confusing and I wasn't retaining anything I was reading. I also didn't care for any of the characters or their story lines. It introduced a lot of people and I had a hard time remembering who was who.
I'm sad because I went into this book so excited and came out confused and disappointed. I really thought Ye was going to be the main character of this book, and while she is very pivotal to the story, it's in a way I didn't imagine. Unfortunately this book is not at all what I thought it would be and I don't see myself continuing the series anytime soon.
