Definitely made me think about life, science, and having fun. I loved it!
Complex, dynamic, thought-provoking, unexpected.
The novel's story is written from a historian perspective, detailing what happened within the three years of the Supernova Era. It's a world populated by children from new born babies to 11 years old. The perspective from children during this time I felt was fascinating. Their main challenge was overcoming inertia, and wanting to have fun instead of working. I found myself wondering what I would do at that age.
The novel made me think deeply about what's currently happening with our world. The Epoch Clock left me sitting in silence, pondering how that relates to common historical events and potential future disasters. This is definitely a novel that should be discussed and talked about between groups of people. The ending was a surprise for me, not what I was expecting. The war games scene for me went on too long, that's why I gave the book four stars instead of five. If you like science fiction, this is highly recommended. Thank you Bookishfirst and the publisher for the chance of winning this fantastic entertaining novel.
