The Gone World by Tom Sweterlitsch
1.0
*1/2
So yes. Or rather no. A (kinda) promising start, but what a rubbish ending. The bulk of the books reads rather pleasantly, a regular, unhurried pace, but the last forty-something pages are just an overly complex hodgepodge of several deus-ex-machina trying to explain the rest of the book to come to some not so clever ending. The plot is filled with loopholes and the author artificially manipulates the timelines to suit the plot 'development'.
