Someone in Time: Tales of Time-Crossed Romance by Jonathan Strahan
5.0
Thank you to NetGalley, Solaris Books, and all of the authors for this advanced digital readers copy in exchange for an honest review.
There is not a trope that I love more than time travel romance, or even just time travel in general. These 16 short stories all understood the assignment and each and every one is not only beautifully written, but the love described is both real and relatable.
Someone in Time does a phenomenal job of representing all walks of consensual adult love. The stories, although steeped in magical realism, are utterly believable and were mesmerizing to read. Although I could easily have read through this anthology in one sitting, I found I wanted to stretch my enjoyment of the stories out as much as possible. Some standout favorites include First Aid by Seanan McGuire, who never ever disappoints, Dead Poets by Carrie Vaughn, and Time Gypsy by Ellen Klages. There were a few stories that I found a bit confusing, but I blame that on my lack of interest in super futuristic technology than the writing itself.
Recommended for fans of diverse reads, Outlander, and The Time Traveler’s Wife.
