Time travel reading fun!
I'm a real sucker for a time travel novel and this first installment of the Chronicles of St Mary's is great. I've really enjoyed the author's take on the subject.

I read this quickly, and I'm not sure if that helped or hindered. The book is fun, with likeable characters. The plot itself is a bit of a mess, which I discovered was maybe the fault of my particular downloaded version. About halfway through, I got confused about the timeline (just how long has Max been working at St. Mary's?) and downloaded my library's other version of the book and went back to some of the confusing bits to discover some sentences that were not included in my original version that signalled the passing of years. I didn't go back and reread the whole thing, but I can only assume that a later version of the book was released with better (or different) editing. If you have a choice of ebooks folks, go with the red cover.
Ultimately, I think it's entertaining enough, for a madcap romp through history (I like history, so that's an additional draw), and I might continue with the series simply because the goodreads scores seem to climb after this first book.
