I am so glad I finally read The Ministry of Time. This was a great read and explored the idea of empire and colonialism in a way that I haven’t encountered before and found uniquely affecting. 

It was very interesting to see the narrator handle her identity in opposition to Simellia. Also how a seemingly good natured project of exploring time travel gets butchered into weaponry. And then we also get the snippets of Graham’s story and his perspective on life before his extraction. 

The ending is also surprisingly optimistic given how the book is written in our narrator’s voice, I definitely expected worse and was happily surprised at the turn when our narrator receives the package.
