4.5

This book delivers so much more than I was expecting. The writing is beautiful, expressive. The story had me confused at the beginning, it’s a time war between two different factions, written in dual pov from the perspective of enemy agents. However, once I got over my confusion the story grabbed me in a way that most books don’t. 

I honestly can’t express how much I enjoyed reading this book.
