Time Squared

The narrative jumps between timelines, and I found myself re-reading certain sections to keep track. Was that intentional to mirror the characters' disorientation?

The blend of genres created a unique atmosphere, but I wonder what motivated this particular mix of love and history within a fantastical framework.

The contrasting eras added richness, but I’m curious whether the author had specific periods in mind from the start or if they evolved during writing.
