“That’s what it is to be human—the beauty and the pain, each meaningless without the other.”

As time itself crumbles and attempts to merge with different timelines, this book will leave you wondering and questioning the existence of life, time and everything as you know it.

Recursion by Blake Crouch is not just a novel but a well-thought science fiction out that deals with time travel in a unique way. At first, it has slow-pacing but then everything comes together in one moment. One single moment that will change everything.

I feel consumed by this book like I lived multiple timelines, witnessed miracles and destruction in front of my eyes. Although this review may seem vague to those who haven’t read this book is better read with no idea of what wonder you are jumping into.

This is the first book I have read of the esteemed Black Crouch and it will not be my last.

Recursion is not the style of book I typically go for, but I’ve been trying to branch out. I really enjoyed the plot and character development! It was a little sad at times, but overall an addicting read. I did start to get a little bored towards the end because it began to feel repetitive, but it’s 100% worth finishing!
