There are a few parts that don't hold up to scrutiny but overall it is an enjoyable book if you're looking for something a little different.

Honestly don't know what was missing from this book, I definitely enjoyed it while I was listening to it and the premise was really great but it just wasn't super memorable. 

It might've been the simplistic writing style, it's so simple that it's understandable that it's the kind of book that could appeal to a wide audience but I would have appreciated a bit more stylisation to the writing.

Another issue I had was that the conclusion of the book wasn't exactly a satisfying ending for me.

But don't get me wrong it is a good book and anyone who appreciates a time travel novel will probably enjoy it, I just felt it was a little lacking.

Review for all 3 books:

The plot was fairly interesting and the characters were decent, though I never got very attached. The biggest problem IMO was that the prose was absolutely boring in book 1, and though it improved a bit, it still left a lot to be desired. The were also very silly mistakes in the writing of repetition in word choice or even characters seeming to check their watch twice in the span of a few seconds.

The sentences that were clearly supposed to be punchy, introspective, and inspiring generally felt lackluster and boring. I enjoyed these books but they were by no means great.

This was a fun book and I intend to read the rest of the series. There were some unexpected plot twists that were fun and I thought this book did a good job with time travel without it getting too confusing which time travel books often do.

Pretty good! Enjoyed reading about his journey of learning to time travel, the growth he went through was nice! Overall wished there was a little more to the storyline though. The plot at the end was much better than the beginning/mid for sure.
