Review:
I've been wanting to read Timeless for a while now, and when the publisher emailed me to offer me copies of both Timeless and Timekeeper, I jumped at the chance to read and review these popular books.
I was suprised at how much I enjoyed Timeless. It was a book about two characters falling in love, which I love. First love with its intense emotions is my favorite thing to read about. And Michele and Phillip were so sweet and perfect together. But, Timeless was much more than just a love story. Timeless had a great mystery aspect and a fast-paced plot.
I liked the time travel aspect of the book, much more so than other YA time-travel novels I've read. I think what appealed to me was that the time-traveling components of the novel made it read like historical fiction (my favorite genre). I loved getting to see New York in the past, especially the early 1900s which is my favorite era to read about.
I am so, so glad that I already had Timekeeper in hand. Because with the cliffhanger ending Monir gave us, I would have had a really hard time waiting months on end to see what happened next!
I highly recommend Timeless and look forward to seeing where Monir takes this series!
