Apunta't a LibraryThing per saber si aquest llibre et pot agradar. No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. I really enjoyed this very different book. I have to say however that I really hope there will be a sequel. They story ended sort of but the major problem was not resolved. Well anyway I liked the tone of the book. The writing was well done and the feel for the regency era was pretty spot on. In fact it was more in depth than many historicals. While this took place in the regency era it was not a regency. It was a time travel/arcane powers sort of book. So the nitty gritty of 1815 London was more emphasized than it is in the stylized regency novel. I really appreciated that. I loved Nick, the main character. I loved how time travel had changed him and how his changes and the things that he struggled to change were so realistic. So he was a man of his time who changed in a realistic manner. The heroine was good also. She was strong and brave. All in all a really good read. It's rare these days for me to get so caught up in a book that I can't put it down, but this book was surprisingly addictive! I had little faith when I read the premise - two lovers separated by time travel blah blah blah - but the characters and their adventures soon proved me wrong. Julia is such an upstart female character and I was pleasantly surprised when she basically took over the protagonist role from Nick. He's great, but she's the one with the real mystery and I can't wait to figure out how they're going to deal with time collapsing backwards. I'm also curious to discover how Julia's mother actually got across The Pale in the first place, and how she managed to conceive and birth a child along the way. The next book is forthcoming, so I hope that it doesn't disappoint. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
Waking up in a modern London hospital 200 years after meeting his death on a Napoleonic battlefield, Nick Falcott is indoctrinated into a time-traveling society and returned to the side of a woman he loves to reclaim a vital talisman, a mission that places the fate of the future in his hands.

The other thing I really liked about this combination of science fiction, time travel and romance, was that the female characters weren't pitted against each other. I could imagine this going a very different direction once Nick was told
The book ended with much more to resolve, but it still left me satisfied and hopeful that there will be more books to come about our time-traveling friends.
