Found it a bit slow to get into.
The writing and the characterization is so good that even though you're only with each of the initial characters for a short period of time (time both in terms of chapters, and time in terms of a very short period of their lives), you care for them and get a sense of who they are. Loved the writing style. Loved how everything came together at the end.
The only thing I want from this book is moremore details about the colonies, how the time travel works, more about the time institute, more about the characters
