Tess and Beth’s lives intertwine as war breaks out across the timeline--a war that threatens to destroy time travel and leave only a small group of elites with the power to shape the past, present, and future.

Lesenswert, aber teilweise unangenehm nah an der Realität

5 stars

Ein sehr lesenswertes Buch, das bei mir durchaus einige Gefühle ausgelöst hat. Die Idee ihrer Zeitmaschinen ist interessant und ungewöhnlich. In diesem Buch kämpft eine Gruppe von Frauen und nicht-binären Personen durch Zeitreisen dafür, dass Abtreibungsrechte (und andere Gesetze, die primär Frauen, aber allgemein viele Personen, die keine cis Männer sind, betreffen) freier und weniger einschränkend werden. Die Antagonisten sind an sich super extreme Mens-Rights-Aktivisten und mit dem aktuellen Trend bezüglich Abtreibungsverboten in den USA, ist dieses Buch teilweise unangenehm nah an der Realität. Was es einerseits so gut macht, andererseits auch ernsthaft unerfreulich ist
