Echoes of Time
by Calia Read
slow-paced
ONE BOOK TOO LONG.

I think this would have been a great duology, but as a trilogy the plot was stretched too thin and this book didn’t have enough substance.
Most of the focus was just on the couple sleeping together? And I already skip over that, and when it really doesn’t feel apart of the plot it gets boring. I LOVE Etienne and Serene. They are fantastic together. I wanted more of them actually working with the overall story. There was another [spoiler redacted] sub-plot I was fine with, yet, once again, it took over too much of the story.
I liked that there were chapters from Nathalie’s perspective. She’s an underrated character and I would love to check out her story too (separate novel!). It also gave another side to the story so that things at least kept moving in some direction.
It was a fast listen, and it did have a good (and wild) ending. It was all satisfying by the last page.
Overall audience notes:
- Time Travel Romance
- Language: some strong
- Romance: multiple open door; high explicit
- Violence: medium
- Trigger/Content Warnings: a loved one with a traumatic brain injury, physical altercations, murder, weapons violence
