Wow – this book caught me by surprise. I had heard it was a great book involving time travel – and that was certainly true. However the way it is done was extremely clever and has just the right amount of ambiguity to make you step through the story carefully.
I liked how the author set up the book with a character at a crossroads, and then set them off in a direction while we watched and worried. I was worried most of the book – to the point where it was becoming stressful to read on. There are so many points where you can see clouds on the horizon – and you are hoping that things don’t go wrong but also we know that they probably will. In a very real sense this book could also be about the hazards of drug use.
There are some good twists in the book, especially when you have your guard down, and although the author sometimes got too tied up in ancestry the payoffs are there in the end.
Next I am reading Breakneck by Dan Wang.
