The book was entertaining and had some philosophical aspects, but not heavy on them it’s still felt light. It has “ science fiction.” elements, which are quite real.
The only thing I didn’t like is how at the beginning everything was confusing and then some parts were.

religious due in eternities. We are working with other groups-some religious, some philosophical, some political-but we all have the same aim; a human society of robbers and is so flexible it will take us to the stars. We’re evolving five major social experiments.
- my family are not your lab rats
- with respect, you are
We all are, Lucas. Every human is an experiment.

“ the present is an illusion. He had read that as a child. Human consciousness, lugs have a second behind every decision and experience. The finger moves unconsciously, the mind approves the action and images it initiates.”

“ it has taken me a lifetime to realize that lives are not problems to be solved.
My children are the achievements that make me most proud.”

she was a girl filled with ghost. The ghost of having no roots. The ghost of being an exile from a dead country. The ghost of privilege…. This goes Ros, her whole life, shouting in her ear.

amazing spiritual book. With examples of getting through challenging situations in life.
The part about climbing the waterfall helped me in my life to get the courage to do something I thought I wouldn’t be able to, that scene came to me and I realized, if he could do that I can also do this.
Includes exercises, like finding your inner guide, naming it and communicating with it. And other meditations.

What i’m taking out of the book is that there really are different realities. Our thoughts create our future reality (just like in the book with the ship that created terminus).
Just like in the book, we can travel back and delete our past and this way change our present and future. IMPORTANT!!

Quite nice. At the beginning there was too many details described which made it a little annoying but soon the plot evolved and it kept going right until the end.
Pretty intense, with detailed descriptions of death and injuries.

and taking pride in your beauty is a damming act. Because you allow yourself to believe that the only thing notable about yourself is something with a very short shelf life.

Crazy. The book was as interesting as the first one. There’s always something happening, no rest which makes the book so hooking. The end was crazy and pretty disturbing in many ways so Trigger Warning.

Got me hooked since the beginning. I realized it’s his writing that really works for me. I also love the fact that i already know some of the characters, and those who i didn’t, after a couple of pages i felt like i did (thanks to his way of writing)

Loved the way it’s written.
Talles about quantum physics and time.
How our perspective (after knowing what happens later and knowing it’s not a big deal) changes our reactions - emotions.
