Poor Ember is currently overwhelmed by her busy life of Medical school, internship and volunteer work and really does not have time on her plate for anything else- especially the big secret her mother drops on her. Her mom is a time traveler and most likely Ember has the gift as well. Ember needs to come to terms quickly with her apparent gift to help a friend of her mom stop others from damaging time.
So I knew this was a time travel story, but I had no idea that this had other kinds of supernatural things going on in it as well- and I could not be more excited for this turn! I don’t want to spoil anything, but just know this was a very cool twist and I am a big fan.
I will say that I am totally shipping a certain romance to happen, but logistically, I have no idea how it could happen. I mean, there are A LOT of obstacles in the way (1000 years, species compatibility…) but a girl can hope, can’t she?
Side note, the ending was shocking, and I am super hooked. This was a fast paced novella, about 3.5 hours long as an audiobook, just a taste of a fantastic world that I know I am going to love to get lost in. I don’t normally seek out audiobooks, but I am glad I picked up this one because there was a lot of backstory I feel will be super important in the series. The narrator did a good job creating Ember as well as the side characters, so I would gladly listen to the rest of the series on audio if they are made into audiobooks (I already own book 1 and 2 on ebook so I can continue the series!).
