3.5 Stars

This was an interesting concept, but this story moved a little slowly for me. This took me awhile to get through and not just because I was listening to the audio. It just never hooked me in to the point where I couldn't put it down. I was interested to see where things would develop, but there wasn't anything about the characters that had me really wrapped up and caring about their lives. Conceptually this story is a fascinating thought loop, and where it ultimately got to was interesting. The writing style is lovely but it's very slow to develop.
