(I received this book for free as part of Goodreads First Reads giveaways).
(This review may contain spoilers).
Although the front cover of this book made it look a bit juvenile, I still found it to be quite intriguing. I was quite happy to win a copy of this.
The characters in this book were much more interesting and well-rounded than I’d expected from the start. That was particularly true of Valcas, though I felt some of the things about him were a bit contradictory.
I felt that this book dealt with the time travel situation remarkably well. I’ve seen it handled poorly before, but I felt the author utilised it in quite a unique way.
The use of first person worked really well to enable me to relate to Calla – though I noticed a few instances where Calla voiced the thoughts of other characters that she shouldn’t have known.
The supporting characters in the book were quite interesting as well and I really liked how their history and background was revealed through the course of the book.
I didn’t like Valcas at all at the start of the book, but by the end, I found him to be much more sympathetic.
I definitely would be interested in reading the next books in this series in the near future.
