I loved, loved, loved this book. From the concepts to the in-depth physics behind them, it was all *mwah* amazing. I did thoroughly enjoy the characters and the pacing, though towards the end it felt rushed. There wasn’t a lot in terms of character development, and I believe there is ample material within the book itself that could have prompted a further peak into their emotional undertones. However, in retrospect, that was most likely a cognizant choice as the story is written from a multiple first hand accounts and documents. There are many moments where the depth of a character’s emotion is heavily implied within the subtext. Ugh, lovely book.
