DNF
The concept of the story sounded really fun and adventurous. When I actually started reading it though, for me it was one big confusing mess. I had started skimming the pages with around two hundred pages left until I finally gave in at less than a hundred pages left simply because I lost interest. I wish I could be rating this book higher because it had so much potential, but I didn’t because it had been a while for me to find a book that reminds me that not every type of time travel is for me.

I started this book kind of iffy but now I can't believe this is over. It went so fast!! I love this book and I am so excited for book 2.
The time travel is so interesting. You wouldn't think that the events would play how it would but they did. I love the characters and how the rules work in time travel. I adore the two main characters: Etta and Nicholas and their relationship.
I honestly have to say I don't like Rose at the moment and she is a horrible mother. I loved seeing Alice young and how all the pieces fit together. And the paintings! I love how her mom gave her all the pieces and Etta just has to fit them together, but quickly. And I loved when they were on the ship the first night. I laughed so much but also wanted to shoot wren. I think he will make an appearance in book 2.
I love Nicholas but I hate how there is a wall between them because of his skin. But I am so happy that Etta is strong enough to make her own choices and stand for what she believes. Ah I have so many thoughts so I now have to watch book review videos on it! Please read.

I really enjoyed this book. It had a very unique plot line with new and inventive characters that aren't like those of the Hunger Games or Matched. The cliff hanger is pretty intense, even the one at the beginning (literally and figuratively). I can't wait for the next book.

Wait, you mean that's it?? Where's the next book?! *sighs*
Okay, in all seriousness, this book was amazing! I was super scared to read it, because there was so much hype surrounding it, and I didn't want to not like it. I was an idiot. This book is so amazing! I loved the characters, their development, the twists, the turns, the cliff hanger(!!!!), everything! Alex has such an amazing way with words, and I can't wait for the next book in this new series of hers!!

I enjoyed the plot but found the writing and the characters hard to connect with. 0 on the cry scale.
