And the trilogy is complete! WOW! I'm certain I must have said this in my review of Book 2 last summer but I desperately require a complex time-travelling universe-bending diagram of this plot to refer back to when I inevitably return to reread.
The way Lawrence opened this book was just so smart. After two mammoth books of timeline hopping and infinite reality theories, I felt like this book finally put everything we'd learnt into practise. As soon as I started the first chapter and realised we were on Earth - OUR Earth! - I knew we were going to be pushing the boundaries of what you can do with a plot and where you can send your characters. It's so refreshing to be reminded that when you write a book you can quite literally do whatever you want.
Last year, I spent a lot of time talking about books about books. Book 2 of this trilogy played a big part in that: an infinite library that is constantly being destroyed and rebuilt depending on where you are in history. I found the ethical debate on the sharing of knowledge fascinating and I honestly couldn't decide what side to root for after backing Livira for so long.
A fantastic piece of work of huge proportions, I'm quite sure I will need physical copies of all three books to really appreciate the full scale of it!
