Invictus

by Ryan Graudin

From the author of the Carnegie Medal nominated Wolf by Wolf, comes an epic new story - A fast-paced, heart-stopping journey through time that will leave you breathless.

Time is running out . . .

Farway McCarthy was born outside of time. With nowhere to call home and nothing to anchor him to the present, Far captains a crew on a dangerous mission into the past.

When he collides with Eliot - a mysterious, secretive girl, whose very appearance raises questions about time itself - Far immediately distrusts her.

But he must take a leap of faith, following Eliot on a race against time, if he is to protect everything he's ever loved from disappearing forever . . .

This book was a solid read. The story was well-thought out, entertaining, and you can tell Ryan Graudin did her research when it came to the time-traveling. Unfortunately, I just couldn't connect with the characters and the story as much as I did with her Wolf By Wolf duology. The characters did not hold my emotions prisoner, which is what I really look for in a favorite book.

Despite my lack of enthusiasm, this story was well-written and well-executed. And I know from her previous books that Ryan is a phenomenal writer. I may just be in a reading slump and will need to pick up this story again once it's released.
