My rating: 5 of 5 stars
A well written take that combines elements from Stranger Things and Terminator 2 (albeit without the excessive violence of the latter).
I selected this book as my free ebook from Amazon First Reads and quite literally shot through it in one day. It's rare for a book (or really any form of media) to navigate the complexities of time travel so well but this book manages to do it - and does it in spades.
There are numerous plot lines going on in the book. One is the main character's journey with cancer, and as a cancer survivor I can attest it's very accurate. Other plot lines include the time travel elements, one character's trouble home life, an emphasis on Dungeons and Dragons, and a coming of age take.
Definitely worth the read - especially since it's free to Prime members currently. Eagerly anticipating the sequel because I am honestly curious where it goes since there isn't an obvious sequel set up.
