Tempest

Maybe a 3.5. Idk how I felt about this book.

I thought this was a pretty good book as far as YA books go, especially since I'm such a sucker for time travel. I like how they took a new twist on the age-old rules. For instance, if Jackson goes back into the past, he doesn't change anything in the future. The book does get a little complicated a bit later and has a bit more complexity than just time-travel, but I think it introduces it well. I was definitely captivated and easily finished this book, unlike other YA books cough City of Bones cough which I'm finding a chore to make it through.

The one thing I was a little unsold on was the character of Holly. I just wasn't that convinced that Jackson and Holly were so in love. While I like how they go to the action right away, I really didn't feel that Holly was so special and worth saving. I was much more fascinated with the concept of Jackson's dead twin sister, which I was hoping they would do more with in the novel. Oh well, I guess that's #2, right?
