The book reads like it’s aimed at a middle-grade audience and I couldn’t relate to it. The world building felt fine in the beginning but it became strange as the story went by. The characters were absurd, lacking depth. I found the writing style grating. All in all, wouldn’t recommend this to anyone over 12 years old....more

The year is 2080 and the humanity as we know is suffering from a world extinction event. To survive this4.5 stars.
This was a cleverly written novella.
The year is 2080 and the humanity as we know is suffering from a world extinction event. To survive this, a group of scientists/people band together to alter the past. Through this we get a loopy time travel action story that keeps the pages turning.
Even though I found the science initially wacky, I liked how it helped make this compelling narrative.
Merged review:
4.5 stars.

‘If you steal, steal a camel, she heard her mother whisper. And if you love, love the moon.’
The world building was rich and exquisite, as always. Loved the romantic developments. Loved Hadia.
My problem with the book is that the plot was a tad messy, unnecessarily dragged out and overblown. The culprit was easy to guess despite all the misleading clues.

I miss the AI, the new monsters and the talk shows. It’s understandable considering the development of the plot. Can’t believe I’m saying this but the action went on for a little too long in the middle of the book. I’m still super excited for the sequel....more

This was okay. The series is starting to lose its charm. This one was slightly humorous at times but not nearly as funny as its prequels.

We get to see a new dimension but the people in it are vampires and werewolves which was kind of a letdown. Skeeve is growing into a very mature person which is amazing to watch....more
