Thoughts

I’ve had this in my to-read pile for such a long time and I didn’t realise it was about travelling through time, else I would have picked it up sooner! The author seems to not want to call it time travel, which is odd to me because time travel is awesome and that is what the characters do, but hey, let’s not argue. It’s a brilliant book, jumping straight in at the start of the adventure as our hero Max joins St Mary’s, goes through training and heads out on several journeys with mixed results. There are layers of deception and romance and it’s just a really good read - and the start of a lengthy series, hooray!
