Crossing in Time by Micah McDonald, D.L. Orton
4.0
4.5 STARS
I read this book for a blog tour, so thank you to the blog tour organiser and the author for letting me take part in this tour. All opinions are my own.
Dystopian books have a special place in my heart and I suppose you can say that this genre is where my love of books really took off when I was a teenager and trying to read out of my comfort zone. I've read many dystopias, but this one was very different and I enjoyed it from start to finish. I had forgotten what the blurb was about when I started this one and I'm really glad I did because everything was such a surprise for me and I felt that it flowed really well.
The plot was so intriguing, it was actually scary because it seems a lot like this right now and I can imagine that the things that happened in this book could happen in our world too one day. I also thought that the characters were great, they were believable and I rooted for Isabel and Diego the whole way. I hadn't read a book with actual emotions for a while and this one gave me what I've been missing. I love when characters are strong-willed, determined and brave, just like in this book, but I also like them to have feelings and emotions, and I miss that a lot in books I read, especially in fantasy, but this book gave me all the feels and more: I was angry, sad, excited, joyous, and I nearly ended up screaming and throwing my Kindle across the room!
This book was just so interesting, the setting was really great and I think it made the book really enjoyable because you see how things happen and how the destruction slowly appears, I thought the writing style and the structure was also really good and it kept me hooked throughout.
Overall, this was a really enjoyable book, I loved the characters and I loved the story, I found it to be so different and I'm really looking forward to reading the next book in the series. I gave it 4.5 stars because I'm saving the 5-star rating for book 2 or 3, but it was definitely great and I would highly recommend!
