Thank you to the Publisher and Netgalley for the eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
“I’ll Find You Where the Timeline Ends” is overall a quick and easy read. The main character Mina is having to balance being a teenage girl with the responsibility of her work as a dragon descendant, all while trying to uncover the mysteries of who her sister was and where she is.
I thought that there was some disconnect between Mina’s internal voice in different situations; when she was having any type of romantic interaction she sounded like a fourteen year old, but when she was dealing with her job and literal time travel she sounded like an adult. In the story she is about to turn eighteen. This choice might have been intentional by the author but I just felt like they were too disconnected from each other and sounded like two different girls. The time travel elements seemed to be extremely well planned out and there were no loose ends in terms of the Echoes actions.
I loved the flow of the story; it didn't seem to drag on in places while moving too fast in others. The plot twists were amazing and literally jaw dropping. In the beginning of the story I wish we got a more comprehensive overview on the history of dragon descendants by someone more reliable as a narrator than the main character. Lore was dropped in bits and pieces throughout the story only when made relevant leaving me a bit confused as to how it all went down. Based on the summary I thought there was going to be a love triangle, but there really wasn't so if you are looking for that trope, you won't find it here. I think there is also a good opportunity here to write a prequel about Mina’s sister and what exactly happened to her/ what their life was like together before.
Overall, I would recommend this book to any young adult reader but probably wouldn't to anyone who is also old enough to be reading new adult books.
