If you know me, you know that I am always on the hunt for new historical fiction books and authors. Gabrielle Meyer is a new to me author, though I can see that she has written the Timeless series (which this book is number four in that series) which has a large following of fans! When I saw that this book was coming out, I was excited to learn more about it, though a little bummed that I was coming into it on book four. I haven’t read the other books so I didn’t want to start a series with the fourth book which is why I opted to do a feature instead.
However each book looks like it can be read on its own, but I still didn’t want to take the chance. What really appealed to me about this series was the time periods. This particular book has two different time periods, 1727 and 1927. A lot of times with dual timeline books, the ‘modern’ timeline is meant otherwise be happening in the contemporary or right now. I love that this book takes the ‘modern’ timeline and makes it still a historical time period. I know that sounds a little convoluted but I hope that I am explaining it ok!
At any rate, I really like that the two books are set in two very different time periods that feel unique and totally unrelated, but yet are drawn together somehow to create an interesting historical fiction! A lot of people have been raving about how great Meyer’s books are in this series and I am eager to check the series out and see if I agree! I think the book itself sounds very interesting and exciting with solid characters and a lot of historical research! If you love historical fiction this one might be for you!
