First, I have to say I adore the time periods chosen for this book. The way of life, the language, the way people lived, and the picture the author paints are divine.
I loved that each chapter begins with a quote from Matthew Winter’s Journal. It just sets the tone for what is to come and gives us a glimpse inside of his mind. I was pulled in from the first page of the book with the amazing imagery and scene-setting. I was immediately in the story of what the characters were experiencing. I felt the emotions that they felt and it really allowed me to dive into the story being told and shut out the world around me.
I’m enthralled with Matthew and Anna’s story and the trajectory of what moves them forward. The relationship he has with his wife is incredibly sweet and complicated. His connection with Henry throws a wrench into his plans but the entire story was so engaging.
As far as the characters go, I love how endearing Matthew is and devoted to his wife despite events thrust upon them. Anna has a bit of sass that I find entertaining at times. I also found her character to be relatable in terms of her emotions and the way she deals with situations that arise. Henry was mysterious and otherworldly and something about him drew me into his interesting worldview.
I found the effects of the time travel were explained perfectly and it kept me with them on their journey. The times of strife were all the more important and the people they encountered all the more interesting. The emotions explained by the author are done so eloquently and with such intention, that we are wrapped up in their story right up to the end.
