Echoes of Time by Calia Read
3.0
3 of 5 stars
-----
To be honest, the first book was the best book out of the trilogy. This book ended without even giving a solid ground. There's so many things left unexplained about how the time travelling system worked. I mean, there are tiny information splashed everywhere, like the characters giving their own conclusions, but no firm explanation as to why they were brought together despite living in different eras. That being said, it was kind of underwhelming that this hadn't given a solid story.
About the romance between Etienne and Serene, I'll be honest and say that that was one heck of a love between the characters. I admire the connection and the love they have for each other. I know this book was all about them, but I can't help but hope for something more. Not out of them, exactly. Their relationship was enough and more. But I do wish there are more Livingston in the story. Hell, he was amnesiac the whole time and I missed the jolly Livingston and his shit-eating grin. And aside from that, I want more of Nat and Asa! I mean, I know they are just the side characters, but I wished the author added more of Nat and Asa and their secret glances with each other. They deserved to have their own story. I think there will be because I've seen the latest book from Calia Read The Belgrave Dynasty series with Livingston and Rainey as the main character in the first book. Hoping that Nat and Asa will have their own.
Overall, this book was not exactly bad. It was just underwhelming and could have been more.
