Overall, couldn’t wait to see how it all came together. Ending was a littttttle rainbows and butterflies and not at all feasible but in a book w dinosaurs it’s par for the course and I ate it up all the same. I like that they extended the usage to beyond the core A6 crew.

Definitely interesting concept, science was fun, unique in my readings so far and mystery was actually mysterious! 5*

A even consistently thinks she’s the one to kill Nora so if she does it’s not the twist. It’s part of the intrigue.

Also D always seemed to know what was going on but it was subtle enough that I didn’t think she was from the future and neither did they.

I cared more about seeing A recreate the past so I do wish there was more of that but it was already plot heavy so I understand need for character time

Quantum mechanics, dinosaurs, mystery I cared about, Lost reference. just fun.

I liked that there’s some basis for this. That they didn’t intend to make time travel and it was meant to revolutionize shipping. Internet made info accessible to everyone now this could do it for physical objects. But it wasn’t energy cost-effective. They made a discovery so how could the world use it?

In the photos, Charlie is there w E! They send S and N to the island. A tells Korean organ company lady who lost her father that she can help.

She brings her brother and makes deals w govts to get access to all media so they can prove they’ve been somewhere before actually going. Can’t change the past and all that.
C dies on island. They go back and bring people to their utopia. She searches for her ex bf

Omg when Charlie died W told A never to speak of that night until they’re both at Nora’s house and that she would know when! And to tell E that everything was going to be alright. E doesn’t remember that. E went back, too!! E leaves so his DNA isn’t there and A and S recreate the murder scene. A reveals she’s his daughter when she touches the knife to get her DNA on it.

H sends young A back and sends body bag somewhere ?? She Puts a recall ring on her wrist and in her pocket. They see ping is successful and he’s brought back! They send both A and dad to the past to Nora’s home. She was expecting the bag next but E appears w gun, too! Bag is body that looked like Nora from grown organs. She exhumed her to make sure it had the S/N! That it wasn’t really Nora!

A made her younger A investigate C H E to get close so E would trust A they’d tell her when A2 was ready. She’d use it on her younger self but then what? She creates the ID with disappearing ink

Korean company for organ modeling meets w her. She needs to exhume Nora’s body to get exact measurements. She knocks out young A and shows photos to H in the lab to convince him to send her back. She says she’s A

Omg A only checked for HER photos w the software not the others’! Nora’s death goes the same and A has to sit back and watch it play out. Not knowing what she’s missing. She uploads the others’ photos into the program. Who else used A2? Omg I’m on the edge of my seat

She’s got surveillance on each other’s homes and lab.
Nora calls her, She confronts her about the cameras. She can’t tell her the truth.
E/H tell the 6 the discovery A2 can now send payloads to THEIR universe not an alt But can’t predict time/place. Noras convinced this is the reason of Fermi paradox why they’re alone in the universe. E argues if they already have done it it’s not changing the past

She commissions company to use software to cross-reference photos in history to prove A2 has been used before. Match found of her, a little older, in Stalingrad 1942.

She has to be seen on CCTV going to Charlie, she sees him dead. Elliot is there. What does he say???

Sad that her whole family is waiting for her mom to die. And they’re not from the future. How we jsut know. It’s a sad parallel
