My favorite line from the book:
"We want to believe that we're uniquely important, that we're living at the end of history, that now, after all these millenia of false alarms, now is finally the worst that it's ever been, that finally we have reached the end of the world."
I'm glad I finished reading this story.

Wow.
It took me a bit to jump on board but when I did I was stunned.
I was mildly curious in the first two sections, rather interested in the third, and when the actual focus comes out in the fourth section I was totally intrigued.
It's full of relevant topics but remains human, without turning everything into a lecture. A great read.

Море спокою ✨
Думаю, що всі знають де воно знаходиться і не треба пояснювати відсилку від авторки.
Шо по сюжету?
Дуже все не погано, як на мене. Декілька людей, що живуть в різні часи, якимось чином повʼязані між собою. Вони бачать одне і те саме видіння та чують гру на скрипці.
Сюжет цікавий, але в деякі моменти було трошки нудно бо виглядало начебто води треба було підлити в сюжет, а то 200 сторінок занадто мало.
Фінал для мене не став несподіванкою, в якийсь момент я просто все зрозуміла і в голові вже розплутала клубок.
Для мене це досить проста книга, але не погана. Принаймні її легко читати, не нудна бо йде постійна зміна локації та героїв.
Можливо, десь в душі я очікувала трохи більшого, тому ⭐️⭐️⭐️/5.
📕Хтось може сказати: «якого дідька, ти ставила стільки ж зірок Ґудзикам? Невже вони на одному рівні?!».
Ні, не на одному. Але я вважаю, що якщо вже хочеш закрутити прям класно сюжет - треба трохи попрацювати над цим, щоб читач не зрозумів про те що відбувається вже десь в середині книги.

So it took a bit to understand what was happening and I had to listen pretty intently so I had to re listen to the first 45 minutes. However once I got it, it was fascinating.

Good, could see the ending coming. Wish we had had more time with the characters. Great at getting you in the action immediately.

No acostumo a llegir ciència ficció però aquest llibre em va cridar l'atenció i la veritat és que m'ho he passat molt bé.

I really enjoyed this book. An interesting plot line especially when you get to the chapter called anomaly. A quick read.

Short story. A bit abstract at first, but the ending pulls together. Jumps over a lot of time.

Caught in the time space continuum. I loved this and could read more stories from this earth parallel world.
