 This book reminded me a lot of the movie Thor, only in that it is the story of someone learning not to be a jerk, and that it is a very slow process during which said someone is absolutely insufferable in a way that almost ruins a good story by their presence. (Side note: Rewatching Thor was more tolerable than the first watch because I knew what to expect and to get less emotionally invested. Maybe that would hold true for this book as well?)

 Other than that, it's a really good installment in the series, and ties in very nicely to previous books.

I find time travel stories a bit difficult and twisty. This one isn’t my favorite of the bunch. It’s hard to see the real growth of Peter in such a short time but we get glimpses. Very twisty. Glad I didn’t save this until it was the last book.

Adorable

Oh my gosh, how I adored this. Peter is ever so slightly abominable, but he grows! And Glenna is such fun and oh my gosh I love it. THIS BOOK WAS AMAZING. And utterly confusing. And now I have to read them all over again!!
