Waterfall

i really liked this book. it had a lot of history which i liked. I don't really read a lot of time travel books so this is a bit different for me but i think i may continue this series and read others like it. The characters were instantly likeable and there was plenty of action in the book. I am glad that i got to read this and will definitely read the rest and find out what happens next.

Short Review: I picked this up free a long time ago and finally decided to read it when I saw the audiobook was discounted and I had some free credit from Audible. It is a Christian young adult time travel romance book. Honestly, I tend to like young adult books and my wife teases me about being a 16 year old girl in some of my book preferences. But while I did finish and overall thought it was ok, it was too cheesy, it used too much ‘teen slang' (presumably to gain authenticity), the main character was too perfect for the time travel (she happened to speak Italian, read latin, be familiar enough with Dante that she could speak in the 14th century dialect without problem, could sword fight, had a basic understanding of medical uses of herbs, etc.)

I don't want to be too hard on it, this is a young adult romance novel. But there was way too much ‘look at all the Italian hotties' and not nearly enough, ‘oh crap, I am in the 14th century and life here can be really hard.'
