The bold new work from award-winning author Adrian Tchaikovsky - a smart, funny tale of time-travel and paradox
Welcome to the end of time. It’s a perfect day.
Nobody remembers how the Causality War started. Really, there’s no-one to remember, and nothing for them to remember if there were; that’s sort of the point. We were time warriors, and we broke time.
I was the one who ended it. Ended the fighting, tidied up the damage as much as I could.
Then I came here, to the end of it all, and gave myself a mission: to never let it happen again.
Review:
I've heard a lot of praise for Adrian Tchaikovsky over the years but had never read him before this year. The first thing that caught my attention about this
novella was the dinosaur on the cover but then I read the synopsis and I was sold! And this story was so much fun!
What would you do if your time war broke time? That's what this story explores. And it was a cynical portrayal of time travel and a time war and what someone would do to end said war. It gave me some serious This is How You Lose the Time War vibes and I loved it! I laughed so much while reading this and the farm setting at the end of time was a perfect main setting for the novella! It made me want a Miffly so badly!
I want to fangirl a little bit about how this story took the time travel trope and turned it on its head! At the first of the story, I thought I knew where the story was going but I was totally wrong. I was trying to mow my lawn while listening to this and I found myself standing in the middle of my yard just listening to the story. I was enthralled from the start.
I’ve had an ARC of this book for a while but I
ended up checking the audiobook out from my library which was an A+
decision on my part. The author narrates the audio and his performance
increased my enjoyment of the story. It's on the shorter side and can easily be listened to in less than a day.
I can't recommend this novella enough! I can't wait to dive into Tchaikovsky's backlist later this summer!
