Gwyneth Shepherd's sophisticated, beautiful cousin Charlotte has been prepared her entire life for traveling through time. But unexpectedly, it is Gwyneth, who in the middle of class takes a sudden spin to a different era!
Gwyneth must now unearth the mystery of why her mother would lie about her birth date to ward off suspicion about her ability, brush up on her history, and work with Gideon--the time traveler from a similarly gifted family that passes the gene through its male line, and whose presence becomes, in time, less insufferable and more essential. Together, Gwyneth and Gideon journey through time to discover who, in the 18th century and in contemporary London, 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.
