susssu 's review for:
The Psychology of Time Travel
by Kate Mascarenhas
4 stars
Time travel is a pretty ambitious choice for a debut novel. I went into this determined not to nit pick the logic and for the most part succeeded, but this was not the best take on time travel out there (not even close), even though I appreciate the author's effort.
- The writing was decent
- The characters were believable
- The mystery kept me invested, even though it didn't exactly have me on the edge of my seat
- I usually dislike non-linear narratives, but if it's ever justified, it's in a time-travel novel
- Some of the sub-plots felt unnecessary
Four stars feels a bit generous, but in the end I did finish this in one go, and while I doubt I'll ever re-read this book, I also don't regret it. I'll be interested in Mascarenhas' future work, because for a debut this was more than sufficient.
