Very interesting. Some of the book descriptions make this sound like a sequel to The Peripheral, but I'm not so sure...I haven't read it yet so I don't really know. Anyway I liked this just fine although I had a LOT of questions about the mechanics of it all. No matter. Switched between POV of Verity and Netherford about every 2 pages, which I usually find annoying but this time just adds to pacing. I really liked the idea of the stubs, and that the "real" timeline doesn't know how they do what they do. Verity's flight across the country, basically handed off from one person to another like a suitcase, was at the same time tension-filled but also a little tedious. I had a little trouble visualizing the very end as they're airlifted into the party. Good characterization, excellent world-building (of course), and a good ending - wraps up this story nicely and leaves room for more if wanted.
