Great and solid book.
Joan seemed naive and slightly annoying at the beginning but considering the circumstances that was understanding and I could look past that.
Loved that there wasn't much focus on the romance. It's not like the plot had much room for it anyway, so that worked out quite well.
The time travelling aspects of the book had some great concepts.
My only issue is that calling the time traveler families "monsters" doesn't really make sense in my head. But that's 100% a me-thing.
A lot of unanswered questions at the end so I am excited for book 2!
