After 12 hours of trying to put my notes together in this review, I still can’t pinpoint exactly how I feel about this book.

 Honestly, there were so many pieces to it that I loved. Like.. TIME TRAVEL, come on! Not only that, the way that the time travel is laid out, and the “doors” that they use, and not really being able to choose when and where they end up, just a phenomenal idea. I ate it up. The Ironwoods basically controlling the world through timelines and time travel. Also, amazing, give me more. These were such big aspects of the book that I absolutely loved, and couldn't get enough of. They were so well done and developed.

But… here’s the thing. I walked out of this book feeling very… meh about the whole thing. With such an amazing premise, and the plot actually taking us to so many different times and places, I just didn’t fall in love. 

Etta’s was kind of boring. She didn’t have this grand history that came along with Nicholas. She didn’t have a simmering resentment and desire for revenge like Sohpia. She’s just kinda of, woe is me, whiny whine about her mom. I know she spent the entire book time jumping. There was some really good character development that happened with her, so at least we can say that. I just feel like her personality was lacking. I’ll say that, and then leave it at that. I wanted a bit more from her character. 

Also. There is like. No chemistry between her and Nicholas. Like, yeah, okay there's some moments? But there's no sparks for me. I like him a lot, I really dig his character but the way they’re so wishy washy one second and making out the next kind of irks me. And also, I still feel no chemistry. 

Anyway. I did like this book. After all of my ramble up there. I did enjoy it. I’m actually really excited to go into the next one to see what happens now that Etta and Nick have been separated, and Rose is back in the picture. I’m kind of hoping we get more of a pick me up in the plot with maybe a bit more kick to it.
