Paradox Bound by Peter Clines
4.0
As is the case with Peter Clines books, it's best to go into Paradox Bound knowing as little as possible. Just know that it involves time travel, American history, dangerous bad guys, and takes the general form of a chase-type suspense novel, and you're good to go.
Is it any good? Well, it has plenty of problems. Some of the concepts at the heart of the mystery were a bit silly. It's definitely not hard sci-fi - it borders on science fantasy, if that's a thing. Characters are likeable but relatively flat. Plot holes abound. Aspects are predictable. Plot beats are familiar.
But it's so much fun. It's a page turner, and has a premise I haven't really seen done before. It hits some solid emotional beats. So, yeah, there's lots to nitpick, but I really enjoyed it.
