4.5⭐️ This was a surprisingly wonderful book. It is not in my normal genre but the story flowed so nicely, the character development was superb. It was a very long book (500+ pages) but I did not feel that it could have been shortened in the least. And I can honestly say that there was no point where I felt it dragged a bit. I will not be reading the rest of the series bc I felt that this ended just perfect.

I felt like this was just written to usher in the final book. Not much plot.

This was great and hooks you from the first chapter. It kept me guessing until the last chapter!

Surprisingly wonderful. This gave off "MaddAddam" by Margaret Atwood vibes, with a touch of Sherlock Homes. It does take a few chapters to understand this world and, most importantly, who the narrator is. An overall fresh and interesting read.

This book was surprisingly quite good. The characters were well developed and the descriptions of surroundings were well thought out without being wordy. The plot moved along nicely, however there was a part near the beginning, which pretty much started the true plot moving, that was a bit confusing. Other than that, I felt that the author stuck the landing which is often difficult to do.

I started out loving this book. Then I wasn’t. Then it picked back up. Then it took a weird turn. Then it ended well. It is hard to describe this book without spoilers. It isn’t a time travel book, per se, but more about people who have time traveled and how they are adapting to this new era. But there is also murder, mystery, and love.

I have to say that I enjoyed this book much better than I thought I was going to when I first started it. As with many sci-fi books, it was difficult to understand the who, what, when, where, and why of this story. Who and when being the most difficult. However, the historical events (some real and some imagined) were very interesting and I especially loved the "Hiscon" essays to really set the scene. I also feel that the character development was actually enhanced by the confusing beginning bc the reader is feeling what the narrator(s) are feeling. Overall, this is a very interesting and surprising sci-fi/time travel book.
