Lowbeer feels like a caricature, but an enjoyable one. Not convinced that Flynne would be that keen to pretend to be an artist - or that Conner would take the time jump so casually. But at least the plot’s moving along nicely.

Great imagery - in a bar resembling a downed airship…

This is flying now. Conner in a peri’s body - made me smile for him but I fear it’s going to go wrong.

A fusion of realities. Interesting that, in this collision, there is uncertainty about ‘reality’ from Flynn, who is uncertain if she is in the future, as she has been told, or just in a game, or VR. How would she know, for sure?

Occurs to me that I’m enjoying the form - short, snappy chapters filled with short snappy paragraphs and sentences. Lots of dialogue so it’s pacy. Reminds me a bit of James Ellroy.

This is a proper thriller now. Once you get the rhythms of his prose and begin to understand the tech, things get clearer. Fascinating idea - a conversation with someone from the past but they don’t know you’re from the future.
