This book was an interesting and wild ride. This is a mix of horror (graphic) and sci-fi (dystopian). I really enjoyed how the two genres played together and how eerie this book was. It really was like an episode of Black Mirror coming to life, and I always enjoy books like that. This book is set not too far in the future, I mean it feels far, but it’s really only like 12 years away (gasp). The writing was well done, and most of the book flowed nicely. I say most because there is a chapter that is quite graphic in its torture of a character, and it feels that this chapter was out of place, almost that it was plopped into the story at a later date. However, the rest of the book was polished and well edited and I had no issues. The characters were great and well rounded. There were several key characters, however they all added to the story in a unique and non-confusing way. I enjoyed the time manipulation elements and how that played out. I was worried that I would get confused, and I had some doubts at times, but I stuck it out and my persistence was rewarded in the end.

Overall, this is a fantastic dystopian story with some graphic horror elements. I had a good time reading this book and look forward to additional books by this author.
