My favourite one! For me it's perfection.
I love love loooooooved everything about this and don't have any complaints whatsoever.
I even cried at the end. That's something I didn't expect from a book like this.
And woah, this felt like 5 books in one. At the end I was like "This all really happened in this one book?!"

What I liked:
- Multiple POVs
- Great character development—the Barry and Helena you meet in the first few pages isn’t nearly the same ones you encounter at the end.
- Fast paced with engaging writing
- The science aspect—I’m a huge science nerd and really enjoyed how there was an even balance of science and plot throughout.
What I didn’t like:
- Also the science aspect—at times I had to reread the same paragraphs a few times because I really wanted to make sense of the science Crouch was writing about. I’m not a physicist so who knows if anyone of it’s accurate, but I really wanted to be able to follow it and sometimes it felt a bit too dense (but it didn’t affect the plot).
