This book was seriously SO good, I had the hardest time putting it down. Sci-fi can be a little difficult for me at times with all the science/tech jargon, but despite a few moments of rereading and thinking really really hard it was such an enjoyable read. I love the concept of this story, I think Crouch executed it very well which I've thought about all of the books of his I've read so far. This book also had a lot of emotional moments which I think took this sci-fi story to the next level. Just overall such a great read!!

I loved Dark Matter. I was less enthused about this one. It managed to be entertaining enough to finish quickly but I couldn’t find a connection with the characters and felt the story dragged toward the last 1/3.  Fun to think about time in this brain breaking way though!! And was just in time for daylight saving time lol

I could not put this book down!! You go on so many emotional roller coasters and it just seems to not stop! Even to the very end, which is all I’m gonna say haha!

This book was such a fun concept, in a similar vein to Dark Matter, but the execution fell slightly short to me. The first half was very enjoyable but right around that point it branched out and expanded in a way that really leaned into the plot and away from the characters. Overall a fun and fast-paced book, and excited to read more concepts from Crouch.
