I’ve really enjoyed reading some of A. L. Lester’s newer releases over the last year or so, so I was very excited when I got the chance to review the audiobook of their debut novel!
There are lots of different aspects to this story, including a historical between-the-wars setting, a paranormal mystery and a slow-burn queer romance. At the start the different threads felt quite disjointed, but by the second half the story was well underway and it all blended together much more seamlessly.

A lot happened in this very short book, and I think that’s where the audiobook format really has its advantages. If I had been reading this myself it might have felt a bit rushed, but the audiobook format slowed the pacing down to the perfect level. There were a few anachronisms and inconsistencies, but on the whole they didn’t impede on my enjoyment of the book.
The book was really well-narrated by Callum Hale, making it an engaging listen, and he brought the different characters to life with plenty of variety between each person.
While this book was a mixed bag for me, I can’t wait to listen to the next two in the series. Lost in Time felt less like the first book in a trilogy and more like the first part of one, longer book, and I’m excited for what happens next!
Thank you to the author for providing me with a free copy of the audiobook for review; all of their audiobooks are currently available on Spotify. All opinions are my own.
