There is so much to like about this book! Not only does it have great characters and an interesting, refreshing premise, but it also moves along at a good pace. It's easy to jump into the story and you're immediately hooked, right from the beginning. While it does use some typical YA fantasy tropes, the world and the characters make up for it, 100%.
The only reason this isn't getting a full five stars is because time travel and "the one true timeline" thing always throws me a for a loop. Time travel is confusing! But other than that, this was definitely an enjoyable read. And I'd recommend the audio because the narrator does a great job!
