This sounds like an interesting concept for a science fiction plot, and I must say I am intrigued by this "lesson" that can only be learned by understanding the story as a whole and upon reading the last sentence. Thanks for the review!

I will love to read this book because of the twist and plot. And it seems like an interesting read with the comprehensive narrative of the author. Nice review.

This book has a very complex storyline which at times becomes impossible to believe in. But, as the reviewer noted, the reality presented would change according to perspectives and so some might find it believable. Still, I enjoyed reading the review. Thanks for the review!

Writing a book about changes in time or time travel can be very challenging but Alblood did a good job in this book.

This is quite some interesting subject matter under discussion, but I can't get my head around the objective and plot of this book. Perhaps, the sample would give me clearer insight on the book.

I read with great trepidation your comments about the complexity and problematic narrative flow in this book. Since it involves actual historical events, however, I'm still interested in combing through the sample.

Great review! This book sounds like. a stimulating read, but sadly, science fiction isn't my cup of tea. I enjoyed your review of it though

I'm torn on this one, it sounds complex, though complex books don't scare I fear it might be too science-fiction-y for me. And I don't like science fiction at all. I might dip a toe, though.

This seems like a very complex tale that I think readers who enjoy being intellectually stimulated will definitely appreciate. I'm not too sure about the blood and guts, but thanks for the warning and thanks for the great review!

Not sure how I feel about this book honestly. It seems to be a little confusing and needs a lot of free time to dissect it. Thank you for your review.

Thanks for your review. This sounds like a complicated novel that employs a lot of concepts like aliens, mystics, occult societies, biology, science, and religions. I wonder if the mission to kill God will succeed.

Awesome review. The book is indeed a complex one and well illustrated with several characters. It teaches an individual that life indeed opens the eyes to reality.

Great review but I don't think the book is for me. I want to read books to relax and not be more if a chore. Thanks for your review.
