I finished this dramatic and fun time travel mystery thriller book today. For the first almost half of the book I wasn’t too sure if I really liked it or not. It seemed to be told in the third person but with the narration fitting the character that was being presented. As an example, when we get to a chapter titled “Mal” we are presented with language which is in the third person but as if being told by Mal himself.

Each individual was very interesting, and kept me going through the book. But the ending was a true waste of a great idea, in my opinion.
