Sea of Tranquility follows multiple characters through space and time, from an exiled teenager exploring Canada in 1912, a moon colony-native writer on an Earth book tour, to a detective investigating anomalies in the North American wilderness. With beautiful prose and brilliant writing, Emily St. John Mandel explores the meaning of humanity that transcends barriers, be it time, space, or a global pandemic.

I'm usually apprehensive of stories that cross multiple timelines, but Sea of Tranquility is a pleasant surprise with its fast-paced plot and intricately connected characters. Unfortunately, the final reveal behind the mystery is quite predictable, especially for those who frequently read the genre. Nonetheless, I enjoyed the story so much that I couldn't put down the book. For those looking for a light-hearted yet riveting science fiction, Sea of Tranquility will be a fantastic book to pick up.
