*I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. *

Cover

Not my favourite cover but it's not horrible.

Initial Thoughts

I read a few reviews before going into this book. They were pretty average so my expectations were average. I was a little worried because I sometimes can't get into historical fiction. Luckily, while this book took place in the past, it was still an easy read and not too historical. I was able to get into this book really quickly.

My New BFF

I really liked Elizabeth. While I felt that she could have been developed a little more she was a great female heroine. I liked that she didn't trust Andrew right away. Too many books have silly girls who will do anything a cute guy says. This wasn't the case in this book. I like that she was skeptical even when she agreed to help Andrew. She was a very believable character.

My Crush

Andrew was the main character in this book. I was a little surprised because most female authors write about female characters. I was actually pretty happy with how he turned out. He wasn't the brightest at some times which was a little incosistant because sometimes he was really smart. He sometimes changed opinions too. A little weird. But I liked him as a main character. I wish his relationship with his sister and best friend were more developed though. I would have liked to see that.

Writing Style

I liked the authors writing. The characters were a little underdeveloped but the plot was great. There were lots of twists happening that I honestly didn't expect at all. It was a little quick though since I prefer longer books. I like that it's a series because I think it will do well continuing.

Closing Thoughts

This was a quick read. I was excited the whole time I was reading because there was a lot of great action. There was never a boring part. I like how history wasn't a big part of this book. There were little hints of it but I enjoyed how it focused on the mission the character was on and not the past. I wished we would have learnt a little more about the time travellers' society. It will probably go into detail in the next book but I wanted to know how more things worked. I'd recommend this book to any fantasy lover who wants something quick and fun to read.

4 out of 5 stars
