Here and Now and Then

It might actually be 4.5 stars. I'll have to let it simmer for a while.

An enjoyable book with some surprisingly heartwarming moments that had me tearing up. As a father with a daughter, not since Hyperion have I been so affected by time travel's impact on a father-daughter relationship. The end was very satisfying, if somewhat predictable. It wasn't the most action-packed book, but more of a slow-burn where you are trying to figure out what happens next when anything Kin does seems to keep making it worse.

I enjoyed the thoughtfulness put in to the ramifications of time travel and the limits and cost. If people could go willy-nilly whenever they wanted to what kind of chaos would that be? Kudos for a “believable” constriction on time travel.

I thought the characters were good, believable, pretty well fleshed out, if not compelling. The question of how well we really know people was a fun theme the book explored.

It isn't a long read, and I did really enjoy it.
