Alice Payne Arrives

3.5 stars

This was an enjoyable novella with some great ideas around time travel, the editing of history and a hint of chaos theory in there. Owing to the format however it did feel a little too fast and I would've liked more exploration into the characters and the whole ‘History Wars' idea.

It features a (closeted) wlw relationship in the 1788 timeline between Alice Payne and her companion Jane although we don't get to see much of them just being together as the pace is so fast there's always some new urgent matter for them to tackle together.

It was a good, if quick, sci-fi read with a queer MC that I really would've liked to have been longer.
