MY THOUGHTS⇣
The narration by Scott Merriman was decently performed...I just found his voice easy to tune out...he didn't keep me in the story...even when I had ear-buds in. This is most likely just a personal issue for me, though. Unfortunately, when you constantly fall out of a story it leads to not always knowing what's going on and less enjoyment of the story overall. Especially when a story has a lot of technical time-travel-y jargon. Plus the pacing was so intense...it was almost too intense to keep up with at times.
Despite all that, the potential for a five-star rating is there and plenty of others have given that. There are a lot of elements at play in this book...and the concept alone is intriguing enough to recommend this book...maybe, I would suggest reading over listening, but again, you may really like the narration...it is available as a Read and Listen on KU...so that's always a great possibility for trying both mediums.
