This book definitely made me feel autistic. Like, I understood mostly what the characters doing but sometimes their emotions definitely effected their logical thinking was jarring sometimes.
"how dare you leave your tower, and freeze all the people in time when your forced to be stuck all alone without talking to anyone, with the person you love torn away from you.
Now I can't see the person I livewho has been taken away from me! You are so selfish.
Like, this is so jarring for me. Like, do you not see the parallel s in your situations?
But I'd assume this is how a normal person would interact. Normal people have trouble with empathy.
All in all, I enjoyed the book.
The villain is definitely the organization. They cause all the issues. Like, man, all of this could have been avoided if the origination just had their employees read some books out load to their clocks. Tisk-tsk-tisk.

Reread 6/26/2023-It's been six years since I first read this book and what a difference that time makes! I decided to reread this so I can continue and finish the series finally. Some of my thoughts have changed. I will say that I still really enjoyed this book but there were several more plot questions/loose threads I noticed this time around that weren't answered/wrapped up. I have so many questions about still. And while I still enjoyed it. I didn't love it as much the second time around so I'm going to reduce my initial rating from a 5 stars to a 4.
I still love Danny and Cassie's friendship. I still want more Daphne. I love the sunshine/grump pairing! Colton is adorable! The clock towers and clock spirits are still mindblowingly awesome.
The mythology felt more out of place in this reread. I'm hoping more gets explained in the next book. I have so many questions about the clock spirits and towers that I hope get answered.
I ended up rereading this mostly on audiobook and the narration was excellent! It definitely upped the enjoyment factor on the story.
First read 11/28/2016- My original review for this book can be read on the Goldilox and the Three Weres blog. 5/5 Stars
