This was such a cool concept, but I don’t think it was executed very well. The mixture of historical and science fictions was impeccable, but the added romance, I feel, just completely ruined this book. I really loved the idea of time travel and an agency like the Ministry, but the majority of this book just seemed like a love letter to the MMC — it really took away from the plot. In addition, there was SO much foreshadowing, but it felt like such little actually happened…In the most respectful way possible, this was such a waste of a unique sci-fi concept.
