Thanks to NetGalley and City Starlight Press for an eARC on this one, although it came out Oct 2021.
Really fascinating take on two time periods in an individuals life colliding through the time space continuum in a universe where old folks are in charge of the world (not gonna lie “the gerontocracy” had me laughing at its ingenuity).
This short little novel also grapples with whether the past (and the future) can be changed. It requires a close read, as some time/space continuum stuff I found myself going back and re-reading a paragraph thinking I’d missed something, but honestly liked the way those bits aren’t pulled out of the text visually.
I also love a novel where the bad guy gets it in the end really good, so this one definitely hit some sweet spots for me!
