This book lives up to its hype! It’s a relentlessly fast-paced and nerve-wracking time travel and alternate reality thriller that explores memories and identities.

Recursion has a lot of similarities with Dark Matter. They both explore the concept of space and time but presents different methods of how we might traverse them in the future.

I adored Helena. She’s strong, brave, and kind. However, Marcus Slade is the most memorable character for me. I think he’s the smartest of them all.

There’s a lot to keep track of with the shifting timelines, and at some point, even feels exhausting, but I still enjoyed the book a lot. Plus points for the tender and touching moments in the book.

“Life with a cheat code isn’t life. Our existence isn’t something to be engineered or optimized for the avoidance of pain. That’s what it is to be human – the beauty and the pain, each meaningless without the other.” ( )

Really enjoyed the entire trilogy. ( )

Even for what it is, which is an accessible, roller coaster, sci-fi thriller, this wasn't as good as Dark Matter. I still enjoyed it, and the plot moved well enough that I was interested to see it through, but the story and sci-fi elements in particular don't hold up well upon close inspection. ( )

Crouch has one crazy brain! This story is a mind bending roller coaster, much like his other book (Dark Matter)

I enjoyed this one but it somehow couldn’t maintain the momentum for me all the way to the end. I’m not sure what would have made it better for me.

Seems like a good page turner for vacation reading. ( )

Well, what a ride!
This book took me back and forth (literally) and made me doubt reality for a moment.
The plot was good and the characters played with my emotions.
I tend to stay away from this type of sci-fi but even I can agree that this book was worth breaking my habits! ( )
