Sea of Tranquility
by Emily St. John Mandel
mysterious
reflective
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
A mix
Strong character development:
Complicated
Loveable characters:

Diverse cast of characters:
Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Complicated
the last 100 pages of this book made me cry like a little bitch!!!
at its core is the same thing I loved about Station Eleven:
a life lived in a simulation, apocalypse, pandemic is still a life. things happen and you can never go home and the world you knew doesn’t exist anymore. and life goes on and you live it and it’s lovely and sad and stupid and funny.
could draw comparisons to Cloud Atlas and The Bone Clocks by David Mitchell but obviously much shorter/less dense than either of those novels. I’m a sucker for non-linear/long timeline stories with an interconnected cast like that. felt like you did get to know the characters here and their emotional landscapes, even if some of them only get a little time onscreen.
