Loved it. So much fun.
I feel like I have emotional whiplash; the plot of this novel really is "just one damned thing after another". Not to say it wasn't good because I did enjoy it. I just found myself having to put the book down occasionally because I couldn't bear to go through another catastrophe.
It wasn't quite what I was expecting, and I've had a while to contemplate what the book might be about, but I still enjoyed it. I've been trying to borrow this from the library for a very long time and they never seemed to have the first one. All the rest but not this one. Finally, though, I have had it in my possession. Now to see if my luck continues either way with the rest of the series because I seem to be invested now.

So much better as audio. Diverting and easy listening for on the daily commute/ doing chores. Much more fun than reading in ebook. Good narration. Will try a couple more.
A fun read if you enjoy time-travel (and I do); nothing novel.
Fun historical research/reconnaissance story with lots of action, various other kinds of drama, and a protagonist and several other characters with big personalities. I may read other books in the series, and hopefully the author's choice of expletive calms down.
Several missed punctuation marks throughout and a couple misspellings; a word missing a double consonant and the use of the incorrect "nerve-racking" instead of the correct "nerve-wracking." Perhaps I read the initial self-published version and it's been corrected since; I don't know.
Content notes: too many F-bombs, both in intense and casual situations. I counted sixteen (on pages 50, 86, 124, 125, 169, 175, 178, 180, 191, 195, 244, 254, 312). Knocked a star off for that.
Trigger warnings: attempted SA on page 125, with lead-up exposed on pages 137, 138, 140. Miscarriage on page 202, 204, 215, and referenced a few more times later on in the story. Unnecessary description of consensual semi-rough sex on pages 163-164, with milder follow-up references on page 167 and the first half of 168.
I think this had showed up on my Goodreads feed a few times and that's why I wanted to read it. Got through in about <6 or so hours today (between a library outing, working on a project, and being very drained), I'd guess.
