Crossing in Time by D.L. Orton

4.0

Thank you NetGalley for the ALC of this novel.

I chose to give this novel a try because of the fact that it is not what I would typically pick. Dystopian novels in general tend to make me anxious, but the appeal of this also being a romance led to me to give it a try. 

I am SO glad I did! I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. The dystopian factor of it still did make me anxious, but the risk was more than worth the reward. 

The love story was unique and epic. It was not idealistic, but that’s what makes it so enjoyable. I will say that the novel picked up at a point we don’t fully understand yet as it’s a continuation of offscreen romance. I would have appreciated a little more of a heads up because I was very confused for the first couple of chapters. 

I will be seeking out book two, specifically on audio. I really enjoyed the dual narration and the timing that the narrators had in interactions. It didn’t feel awkward or forced. It brought something to the experience beyond just listening to the novel and I appreciated it.
