The Vanished Birds

Simon Jimenez can WRITE. This book has made me feel all the feelings, and I am still in awe of what Jimenez managed to do. This book is beautiful, harrowing, and musical. I was not able to put this book down and I held my breath the entire way through.
This is a book about space travel, time and interpersonal relationships. And the prose reflects that perfectly. Jimenez manages to incorporate time dilation in his way of writing as well as in the world he has written. This book is time consuming in the best way possible (and the most pun intended way possible).
I don't want to give away too much about the plot, because you basically just have to read it. If you want to feel something, please trust me and read this book.
