my goal when picking this up was to diamond in the rough. I didn't find a diamond, that's rough.

As it says in the book the story is about two people who became one to defy the fates that conspired to keep them apart. Yet you don't know exactly who are these two that the book is talking about until you hit the end of the book. The story starts when two orphan siblings having a good time together and enjoying their peace and quit time while it lasts then.. time lapsed.. years later a girl with an amnesia is looking for her brother whom she doesn't remember clearly. She looks for him everywhere but not even a single trace of him...(and you keep wondering what happened in the past that caused this or maybe the past was merely an illusion and the answer lies in the future)
Then the story gets more mysterious when a bunch of people from 23 century come to the past to kill the girl that seems to be the key for.... (well if i say it it will be spoiled so ...)
There are time warp, kendo, amnesia, tournaments, covert operations, betrayal, love and Armageddon war ... well, you won't be bored.

Time is like a river flowing downwards, but this book doesn't flow at all. Up until around halfway, I had literally no idea what was going on. The timejumps in this book, you know, the things very important to the plot, seem to happen very abruptly, breaking your immersion and being very confusing. Art isn't the best, but meh. Not the best book, but an alright read if you have nothing else and its for 2 quid.
