Content warning vague spoilers about the ending
This had an ending that was too clean, too buttoned up, and feels completely unrealistic. Too many people had to agree to keep the new skip technology secret, it just didn’t feel likely such a secret would be possible to keep. Then there is the argument for destroying the technology, which I found flimsy and uncompelling in the first place. The book was plenty readable and I enjoyed it a lot despite the ending.
