countingducks 's review for:

The Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley
1.5
inspiring mysterious medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Its hard to review this book because there were moments when I loved it so deeply and was moved by the absolutely beautiful writing and emotion, but also I was incredibly confused most of the time. 

All the characters had so many names I found it hard to keep track of, which mixed with time travel I lost interest in the main plot. The relationship between characters is interesting but feels half baked at times 

I wanted to love it but given that I put off finishing it for weeks I don't think I can give it more than 2 stars sadly
