Reviews
I had a really hard time getting into this one. I loved the Hollows series, so I was looking forward to this, but it moved way too slowly.I listened through getting home to Detroit. Kim could have said all that in 6 pages instead of 6 chapters. More points of view? What were the bad guys doing all this time? So far I was into the story for several hours and we still had met only 2 of the main characters, and I already knew Peris hearthrob was a loser. Sometimes first person really works. This time not so much. I wanted to know more about the world than Peris narrow POV could give me.
This book drew me in. A very interesting premise about those with the ability to time travel and how a corrupt government might abuse their vulnerabilities. Kim Harrison created a fascinating world with real feeling characters.My only compliant was that it was a bit hard to read emotionally. The main character gets taken advantage of so much, it was hard for me to keep reading about. But theres hope for a better future for her, so read on!
