Good overall. I do not understand why people compare this to True Detective. Inception I can understand to an extent, but its only similarity to True Detective is the fact that murders are being investigated. The tone is completely different and it just did not resonate with me in the same way at all. This might have coloured my experience reading the book, as this is how it was sold to me (it's even a part of the Goodreads blurb!).
It was an enjoyable read, don't get me wrong, and I found a lot of the concepts intriguing, but it is NOT True Detective. I had some issues with the descriptions at times (a bit hard to understand and visualize), as well as some of the plot feeling a bit rushed near the end. I also think I would have preferred it without the epilogue. However, it was an overall gripping and enjoyable read with interesting mysteries and cool sci-fi concepts. Time travel is hit or miss for me (often overdone and underwritten), but the way it was executed in this book was a unique (and well written) take!
