Status Updates From Counter-Clock World

Poor Lotta, no ones ever had a worst plot development

“He looked around, but the car and Lotta had disappeared: he had gone too far from them. It didn’t matter. He continued on.”

Staying true to his character, Sebastian doesn't give a damn about the woman he "loves"

“He then metamorphosed into his later self, seated—live—at his desk”

Huh. What.

Suddenly Sebastian loves that other girl. I'm getting whiplash

This is about the 5th time Sebastian has given up on life and everything

“Nothing new,” Ann said. “Just a rehash of Plotinus and Plato and Kant and Leibnitz and Spinoza.”

Not sure what's going on now. Hallucinations made real? Astral Projection? Nothing to do with counter clock world, that's for sure

Huh. They didn't kill her. Noble? I'm not sure the reason

?? You can move super fast, have a gun. But he feels hopeless for some reason. Now negotiating with a slow Ann Fisher. Why? Just go

I know Sebastian has an aversion to killing. But not to violence. If you can move super fast, then why don't you take away their guns, take away their masks!? Sigh

Not sure why the Uditi don't infiltrate the Library themselves. Why does Sebastian have to do it?

Main protagonists in this book seem unable to control their biological impulses

Where is the smoke coming from? Is the smoke in the lungs waiting to exhaled? Are we moving forward in time or backwards in time? Are only certain aspects moving backwards in time? Are we moving forward through time backwards? Because if it was truly backwards then all actions would be reversed. Guns would be unshot, cars undriven, walking backwards, talking backwards.

Some details are cute, like the cigarette that you un-smoke.
But does it make sense?
