This was a pretty good read!

It was really entertaining and quick to get through. The novel follows Gwen through her discovery of becoming a time-traveler. The plot is fascinating even if it is a bit cliche and confusing at times. Specifically, the whole precious stones thing? Cliche and a bit of overkill. I have no idea what to make of it.

The characters are quite good and different. Each one feels unique even if some are a bit flatter than I would like. The relationships are okay but will hopefully be further developed in future books.

The pacing itself is a bit irritating. There were times when I was utterly enthralled with the story and didn't want to put the book down, yet in other times I was actually a little bored. This particularly happened when Gwen was at school. It was boring and I didn't think it was conducive to the story.

Also... what is going on with Gideon and Gwen? It's obvious they're meant to be the couple I swoon over but they seem to have no chemistry. They've known each other for two days and _____ (sorry spoiler) says that they're in love? What???

Overall it's a decent read! It's cute and enjoyable and while it wasn't anything special or fantastic, I didn't have to think too much. I'll most likely be reading the next books as well.
