A review by cmryan
Crossing in Time by Micah McDonald, D.L. Orton
4.0
I received a copy of this book for free via booktasters on Twitter who connected me with the author.
Time travel, sci-fi and romance in a dystopia future; this mixture of genres should feel overwhelming but the author balances it beautifully. I was engrossed from the beginning and am incredibly tempted to buy the second one. Isabel and Diego were incredibly easy to connect to as characters, and the secondary characters were just as well thought out as well as realistically diverse. There was enough humour in the novel to prevent it from being too dark, and Diego's cheesy jokes made him feel almost real. Whilst I sometimes found the romance to be a little overwhelming I found myself rooting for the couple and their attempt to save both their relationship and the world.
An incredibly enjoyable book that has something for everyone and a story that has stood out amongst the many dystopia novels, it's well worth a read.
