How did this book fall on my radar? I don’t remember adding it.
What the hell did I just read? What was the point?
Warning… this book is not meant to be binged.
I would only recommend it to the Lit Fic reader, because this is a Lit Fic book wearing a science fiction costume.
The only saving grace was the weaving of timelines. I enjoyed seeing the ripple effects through history.
I needed to understand the world more. Why were the two sides fighting? What were these things (for lack of a better understanding)? Why did they want to control the past? Where did they come from? How did they learn to jump multiverses?
A love story spanning Multiverses.
What was the point of the love story?
The stylized writing ruined it all? That’s my final answer.
This is where my serious nature can ruin things for me. I need answers. Groundwork. None of that is offered in the story. People hang onto the relationship between Blue and Red, but that wasn’t enough for me.
No original enough for me.
The reveals are easy to piece together.
I walked away with nothing but an empty shell.
Lit Fic lacks the depth of emotions we see in the other genres. Show me a literary fiction book that made you really cry solely with the words, and not because you had to work for it? I’m ready to be proven wrong.
But what was really the point of all of this? What was I supposed to walk away with?
I read some of the book club questions at the end of my copy… they were as pointless as the book? Lacked meaning.
Happy Reading.
Love,
Kait
