Spoiler
(multiple people completely recover from major injuries and surgeries for instance)But even all of that considered, I'm still not in love with the book. I think it's because the author is focusing more on the aspects of the world that I don't find really interesting. I fully acknowledge that the problem is with me so I don't want to give it a BAD review when I can tell it's a good book it's just not to my tastes. The time-ambiguousness of it is disorienting which I get is the point but it also damages my enjoyment of the book. One of the characters has a lot going on but because that stuff isn't relevant to Sophie, you don't actually get to know much about it. Kinda like if you read a story about Jimmy Olson at the Daily Planet and Jimmy knows Clark Kent is Superman but because only Clark's journalism career is relevant to Jimmy's story you don't ever get to see any superman stuff.
In the end, I just didn't love it, but I don't want to give a bad review because it's more about me just wanting something else rather than it being bad.
