Overall, I enjoyed it! Though I did the audiobook and the narrator’s voice was not my favorite.

The book does a good job of juggling time travel and changing realities, slipping in needful details and surprises. Plot is really its strongest point. There's some occasional clunky dialogue; character speak out loud the same way they internally monologue, and infodump their emotions once in a while. But the worst this'll do is throw you out of the text a minute. It's an intensely, deliberately political book, which may not be everyone's choice, but it's an effective, well balanced time thriller, too.

There is a really strong overtone of "violence is never the answer" for a lot of the book that almost made me put it down, but the rest of the story made me glad I didn't!
I still enjoyed the story, which has major themes of reproductive justice and the importance of collective action. I would recommend it to some people!
