- the book opens by describing the ending, which is a trope i enjoy when it's done well. also describes, somewhat gruesomely, a possible consequence of time travel--if one were to cross space and time without control over where you end up, would you end up, er...whole? i find this idea deliciously terrifying, and i appreciate how well-woven this risk was throughout the story.
