  5/5⭐ 0/0🌶️ Tropes - Time travel - High stakes - High action - Insurmountable odds - Traumatic past 📖My Thoughts Wow, this book was incredibly fun but at times confusing. I enjoy a book that makes my brain work a bit from time to time, ok? The writing was beautiful and descriptive. Sometimes it’s hard to visualize words but this author made it painless. I felt that all of the characters were critical to the story and each one had their own personalities, strengths, weaknesses. I listened to the audiobook and the narrator’s voices for each character was impressive! Highly recommend the audiobook. ⚠️Triggers The book had quite a bit of violence that was descriptive including torture, self-harm, blood, mass murder. There are descriptions of grief and losing a loved one to cancer and illness. There’s also some sexist comments from a particular asshole character. 📝 Special Notes While time travel always has plot holes, the author did a thorough job of wrapping up the plot and tying loose ends. I loved how the story weaved and connected the characters together through time travel. The author always had me making guesses and questioning the sequence of time and events. There was one thing I felt wasn’t explained as well as I would have liked. At the same time, I think the author wanted to leave us a bit in the dark and give the book a bit of mystique.

  So good! There were moments I had to pause this near the end... It had me gasping with anxiety, there were so many intense things happening when it all started happening! I watch a LOT of scifi and timey-wimey is my fav type, so I do feel like there were a few plot holes here BUT aside from that this was beautifully written, and had wonderful characters and magic system. The bad people were super bad, and the good ones had gone thru so much, it had me rooting for them up until the very end. Loved the audio for this, the narrator did an amazing job with the accents. I will probably read this again someday, I am sure there are little things I missed the first time through and would have a lot of fun rediscovering on a reread. 🌶️0/5 I would not consider this a "romance," maybe in the sense that someone would love books, but there was very little romance and almost zero for the MCs. That aside, this was a lovely read.
