(I received a free copy of this book in exchange for a review).
(This review may contain spoilers).
Having read the first book in this series, I found this one easier to follow. I think I still would have found it easy to follow even if I had started with this book… but at least this way, I could get properly behind the relationship between Jocelyn and Jackson.
Once again, it was interesting to see the two different timelines and the two different lives that the characters led. I was glad to see that Jocelyn’s 2009 family and friends didn’t think her plans to get married were wonderful and actually raised reasonable objections. It was also quite unusual in that I could see both sides of the argument… rather than rolling my eyes at yet another couple who fall in love at first sight and then merge into one being.
I really like the concept of EVE, even though I’d like to know more about the origin of those abilities and how different people have lives so far apart… why some have a hundred years or so, while the gap with others is much bigger.
I liked meeting Jocelyn’s uncle and I would have liked to see a bit more of him. I also would have liked to see more of the other characters, too. I found a lot of them to be quite interesting and well-written.
I think I would like to read the next book/s in this series at some point in the future. It was interesting to see the characters live their own lives and how Jocelyn’s views and feelings differed in each time frame, though I was a bit disappointed to see Jocelyn didn’t stick to her principles. It would be nice to see where the author takes the series next.
