Was much better when I was in 8th grade, but I'm going to finish re-reading the trilogy for nostalgia's sake.

My co-worker recommended this book to me, and I did enjoy it a lot. Can't wait to get my hands on the other parts. :D
Curley is an excellent science fiction writer, and achieved the impossible task if pulling me into the genre. The story is one of a kind and out if this world, and the relationships are priceless, making you want to see more interactions between the characters. The plot has a quick pace and leaves you wanting more, perfect for a series.

So I wanted to like this story ,it had a very interesting premise with the time travel aspect. However ,this book came across a little bit juvenile for the YA genre. This book could have been a middle grade in spite of the characters being in high school. I also felt like this author's writing style wasn't for me. It barely scratched the surface of the subject matter; the pacing seemed off and character development was lacking. I could see what this author was trying to do with the 1st book The Named but it failed for me. I would recommend this to older middle grade readers or readers who are transitioning into YA From middle grade.
THIS WAS SO GREAT. The writing honestly wasn't amazing, but the unique premise and the riveting plot certainly made up for that. I can't wait to continue on with this series!
Reread August 2 to 7, 2015 for #fivefaves
Maybe more of a 3.5/5 stars. NOT SURE.
Well I still really liked this book, but I'm not sure if I can count it in one of my faves anymore. I still really love the story and overall concept - they are so unique and wonderful that it's hard NOT to love them. However the writing is so SO bad. It's something I definitely wouldn't have noticed as much years ago, but it's really bad. The character development is definitely lacking as well, and the characters being SO YOUNG (aka not 18) kinda makes things like romances a little icky. SO I STILL LIKED IT but I now have more issues with it. At least now I recognize them!

Still a unique time-travel/magic/modern-day trilogy that mixes history, mystery and of course teen angst about relationships.
