Publisher Description
After closing a time loop fiasco in The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya, our protagonist Kyon is ready to start a new year with a blank slate--no time travel, no apocalyptic worries, and maybe some actual peace and quiet with the SOS Brigade, a club comprised of his high school's most extraordinary students. Their leader is Haruhi, a bold, brash girl who doesn't realize that she's actually a powerful goddess whose moods can easily change the balance of the universe.Just as Kyon starts to get comfortable, he gets a visit from his friend Mikuru. Except this isn't his Mikuru; it's a Mikuru from eight days in the future! Time traveling shenanigans start all over again as Kyon, guided by the future Mikuru, attempts to stop a terrible future from becoming a reality.

Nothing wrong with a long story, Mr. Tanigawa
In order to avoid any spoilers, I certainly enjoyed the things I learned about some of the minor characters in this plot. The foreshadowing elements made me think of the late Robert Jordan and his use of prophecies and visions. With the contrast of what I knew and didn’t know about the future, the unforeseen twists and obstacles leading up to the climax were surprising, but not out of left field.
Finally, this story convinces me that time travel into the past must be impossible. I do not believe that God would allow such a chaotic universe to exist, though I give a disclaimer that I may be wrong about the Man Upstairs. Still, this was a great development in the time traveling element that was previewed at the end of the Wavering. Looking forward to reading the next book.
