How I Got It: Borrowed from the Library
I’ll
be upfront-I’m not sure how good or informative this review will be. I read
this a few days ago and have been reading the series quickly so they’re started
to merge into one big book for me.
Immediately
I was sucked into this story. It’s interesting with an appropriate mystery. Ms.
Gier does an excellent job slowly revealing things to both Gwen and the reader.
Gwen’s
an amazing protagonist. She’s kind of quirky, but I like her and her sense of
humor. I also like that she has Lesley as a best friend and is willing to share
everything with her. There are actually a lot of strong female characters that
have great relationships. I absolutely lover her Aunt Maddy.
Plus,
she plays with what you expect with this type of character. Normally, characters
like Gwen suddenly find out their special and are thrust into this crazy new
world. But Gwen has some familiarity with the whole time-travel thing.
This
is definitely an enjoyable story that immediately sucks you in. And that ending
made me want to pick up the second book instantly. There really isn’t anything
else you can ask for in a first book in a series.
