For me, I don’t find aviation all that interesting - so the 1912 path didn’t hold much of my interest. I also found it difficult to keep the POVs straight - especially on audiobook since there wasn’t a difference in voice. 

 I loved this book so much! This series is so unique and just keeps getting better and better.

I thought I would gravitate more towards the 1912 storyline, but I was surprised by how much I enjoyed reading about Salem in 1692, the beginning of the Salem Witch Trials. I’m not sure that I’ve read many, if any, books during that time period, but it was so fascinating. Heartbreaking too.

Grace and Hope were twins, but they were so different. While they shared the time-crossing ability, their personalities were night and day. Grace was kind, steady, and responsible, while Hope was adventurous, spontaneous, and reckless. Grace was more relatable, and while Hope could frustrate me at times, she was fun to read about, and by the end, I ended up really liking her. Despite the sisters' differences and occasional disagreements, I loved seeing their continual love and support for one another. I enjoyed seeing the character growth and watching them try new things and be adventurous. But my favorite thing of all was seeing their faith and trust in God and His plans grow. It was really inspiring.

This was an emotional read. There were a couple of times where my heart completely broke, but oh my goodness, what a fantastic journey! I loved it and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an inspiring and unique historical romance. I’m very eager to read the next book!

The third book in the timeless series didn't disappoint.
Meyer's writing pulls you deeply into the time periods and makes you feel as if you were part of the story. This story is about two twins and she did a great job of making their personalities unique and distinguishable.
As always Meyer throws in those wonderful plot twist that you don't see coming. Highly recommend this series to everyone!

Absolutely loved this book!!! Can’t wait for her next books!

 My first experience with this series.
Two HAE for the price of one.
I enjoyed the conceit and the author's use of it. I can't for the life of me figure out why either one of them would want to stay in 1692.

How dare this book be so good.

These books STRESS ME OUT (in the best way of course). Meyer has a way of dropping little suspense bombs 5 pages into the book, leaving you reading through your fingers while holding the book at arms length and yet unable to put it down until you know what happened.

The third in the Timeless series, this book follows twins and timeslippers Grace and Hope through their life in 1912 where they fly planes and write news articles and 1692 where they…uh…live in Salem Massachusetts. And someone overhears them talking about flying. It’s not good. And I was STRESSED OUT.
