ARC REVIEW/ SPOILER FREE
Through the juncture, we follow the path of Dr Scott, a researcher who tries his best to undo the consequence of his part actions, and there is no better way to change the past than going back to it.
so we embark on a journey of time travel as we follow our protagonist and his friends to try and undo what has been done. whether they succeed or not, only the reader can find out.
The plot is heavily packed with events, the reader moves back and forth from place to place, moment to moment, there are time stamps that help keep track of it but it also sets up a tone of urgency and chronology as we read. It is an enjoyable read with a great storytelling that keeps you engaged quite easily. the pacing is medium and there is enough thrill with many chapters ending on cliffhangers which makes you turn to the next page instantly.
The characters are curious with different but close backgrounds and missions to accomplish, however what the novel fails to deliver is character development. Although major events do happen throughout the book, which create crucial changes, the character doesn't seem to change much, and the way the 3rd person point of view is used doesn't allow and in depth exploration of the characters or the protagonist. in addition there is a lack of diversity in characters, very few female characters in the story.
For readers who enjoy Sci-fiction, dystopian and action based novels with plot development, you are mostly definitely well served by this novel and it will deliver an incredible story.
