The novel is written from the point of view of the narrator and follows three interwoven story lines. The book has been called "part mystery, part fantasy, and part historical fiction".The book is the first part of a "Trilogía Victoriana." The second book, The Map of the Sky (featuring Wells's The War Of The Worlds), was released in late 2012. The third, The Map of Chaos, was released in Spanish on October 16, 2014, and in English translation on June 30, 2015.

Review of 'The Map of Time' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

The Map of Time is a very special book. At first it pulled me in, as the story was very intriguing. Then I wondered why the story went on and on about a person. I was not sure in what way this contributed to the book - until part two started. An entirely new thread in the book, it seemed - except it wasn't. And the same thing happened for part three of the book as well, during which it became clearer and clearer how all the parts were interconnected.

I find it difficult to say more about the book unless I give things away, which I would hate to do. Let me hence state that I enjoyed the company of the cousins Charles and Andrew, felt pleasure in the events around Tom and Claire, and time travel will never be the same again.
