Helena went from being a super genius to taking a backseat to Barry in the latter quarter of the book... it felt like she was dumbed down just so Barry could be the savior and genius. What a shame, she was such a strong female character. Interesting concept and fascinating read otherwise, though I'm not entirely sure I understood how the ending worked?
