I'm not sure how I feel about this one. It's very much a 'written during the pandemic' book. It also almost requires you to have already read The Glass Hotel, and it even has a passing reference to Station Eleven. But both of those prior books are better than this one in my opinion. The plot of this book felt like a hodge podge of ideas - life in outer space, the future, life as an author, living through a pandemic, and the morality of time travel. But what really threw me off was the almost complete lack of character development. None of these characters felt 'real' to me. I will still gladly pick up future books by this author, but I can't say I would necessarily recommend this one unfortunately.

I really enjoyed “Station Eleven”, so this doesn’t put me off reading the author’s other books, starting with TGH.

The Glass House definitely has a lot of character development that you just don't get in this book without having read that one first. I really dislike when authors do that without warning you in the blurb or some other way.
