A science fiction? About astrophysics? With a spice of romance?
Yes, that's why I read this book. It's my first ever science fiction and glad to say that the author, Mashuri, is Indonesian! Initially, I wasn't sure if I was going to finish this book since sci-fi isn't my favorite BUT turns out it's actually not bad and I like it! Well maybe because it has an astrophysics theory and I'm so curious about it.
Since it's my first sci-fi book, I was a bit confused and my brain worked harder than when I was reading romance or any genre I usually read. The author uses a loot of physics theories and scientific words that I don't understand and I just realized there's a note for some of the words on the last page of the book AFTER I FINISHED IT....
You will probably find it hard to understand about the time machine the character (Ilyas) made if you're not into the space and time concept. But to me, all those physics theories are what makes this book fun to read. It's like you're learning astrophysics as you read!
Now about the characters, hm... Raden Ilyas Aditya is... okay? But, Alisa Hakukedo? ALISA HAKUKEDO <33 A. DREAM. COME. TRUE. She's an ITB Astronomy and MIT graduate?? /screaming on a pillow moment/ I can't really see the development of the other characters except Alisa, also the expressions Ilyas and the other passengers use when they arrive in year 2040. They don't seem panic enough when everything is completely different?
