This was one of those stories that I really wanted to love, but in the end, I just couldn’t. The premise was great, and it was a good story. But definitely not one that I loved. And probably not one where I’m likely to feel the drive to read much more by this author. It just wasn’t my kind of story.
For starters, I felt absolutely zero connection to the characters. The potential was there in the beginning, the desire was there. But, I just didn’t fully lean into it. It was one of those stories, that I could walk away mid-tale and not care less what was going to happen in the end – I’m sure they hit differently for others. But, for me, I just couldn’t get there.
I also absolutely loved the premise of the story, I love how it was structured. But the actual execution felt somehow lacking. To me, this very much felt like a story that has gotten great media, but maybe can’t quite live up to the hype. Or maybe it was just me, that is always a distinct chance.
I may enjoy stories which jump timelines, but I also found that this one jumped around just a little too much. Kind of like a kid on a sugar rush. It felt like the story became overcomplicated and confusing, taking away from the overall enjoyment. Again, not a bad story, but not one I would recommend to a friend either.
