The ministry of time book cover

This book started off slow and while it sped up a bit, it was never a breakneck paced science fiction thriller. It’s firmly a character driven story that has some science fiction as a background to how the characters come to interact.

The final few chapters do suddenly increase in pace as a bunch of time related scenarios start to come together and reach the climax as people die and others survive. Moles are killed from previous attempts at fixing timelines, but new ones crop up.

I enjoyed the story, but I’m not convinced I’ll head back and read it again. It certainly doesn’t stand out to me as a book worthy of all the praise it seems to have gotten. It’s not bad, it’s just good.
