Sixteen-year-old Gwyneth discovers that she, rather than her well-prepared cousin, carries a time-travel gene, and soon she is journeying with Gideon, who shares the gift, through historical London trying to discover whom they can trust.
Ich mochte den Stil und habe es gern gelesen, in der Hoffnung auf Zeitreise-Weiterbildung. Allerdings erfährt man über das 18. Jahrhundert so gut wie nichts, und der Plot war mir zu unentschlossen.
If you have even an inkling of what time travel is, you would be completely annoyed by the way time travel is portrayed here. Too many plot holes to count.
Can I just say-meh? Neither of the protagonists are really compelling, but I like the concept enough to follow through with the rest of the series. I think I really dislike how Gwyneth is portrayed. She's just so...well, irritating. And the impending romance between Gwyneth and the guy is so predictably predictable, I sort of want to finish this series just to be done with it. And they go from thinking the other is totally useless to being enraptured with each other much quicker than I would prefer.
