So far so good. It's a time travel novel filled with mystery. Although the female lead is a tad frustrating, it's understandable given the situation that she is in. The author is off to a good start in this novel, i enjoyed the premise however this is not my type of book, i just had free time on my hands. 

I saw no issue with the grammar, i wasn't expecially looking for them and i think so far so good but this book has hints of tropesville around it which would destroy such a good premise. I can see the author has made rules governing the story but i am one of those people who never get anything till the big reveal.

All in all, good read. not my taste but good read.

EDIT: I am getting to really like the characters and the author has given each chapter with a healthy amount of intrigue. I honestly recommend this.

EDIT2: Hmm... I'll be honest. My interest is wanning in the current chapters. (~66) The story is fine it's more like I'm not exactly invested in what the characters are doing? I like the characters but i don't really care about what they are doing at this point. Which is bad.

Honestly, this is the only story i read currently that has more than one main character. I think I said before that this wasn't my type of book before?

Yea, I usually find myself dropping books with more than one mc. dunno why tbh. And I'm not a biggie with the time travel genre.

Interesting at first but if this isn't your type of book, it's hard to stay invested. At least for me.

Looking forward to the sequel

I was sucked into the story immediately. All of the characters, their thoughts and actions felt real. This was the first story in which I was hoping for two characters to get together. I very much enjoyed the story and am looking forward to the sequel.

Many thanks Mathtans

This story is different than the stories usually on RRL. The best thing about it is definitely the characters who have evolved since the story started. As of chapter 57 I'm looking forward to how the story progresses and ends.
