The cover for this book is perfect; very science.
The only character I felt like I knew was our narrator. I got all the rest of them confused.
But I did enjoy the writing style

Funny. For people looking for grown up Percy Jackson.
Could have used 2 less storylines.

Great storytelling.
Though, there's quite a lot of teased romance that doesn't seem to be going anywhere.

This is a cozy romance with a little bit of time travel and a little bit of pirate backdrop.
Miranda (from Victorian England) time travels back in time 50 years, and meets Nicolas. Nicolas is a pirate, wanted by both the law and Lords that he has crossed. Miranda and Nicolas quickly form an attachment filled with outrageous flirting and mutual respect.
This is a book for the people looking for something soft and low-stress. The romance is definitely the focus of the book, with the pirate plot off to the side. Nicolas is such a perfect romantic partner that he is dreamy and entirely unobjectionable.
For me, I feel like this book was a little too low-stakes. I was bored by the lack of conflict between Miranda and Nicolas. The only thing standing in the way of their Happily Ever After is that they are from different times, but from the beginning it was established that the time travel is always accessible, so it's not actually much of a problem at all. If you're looking for something that will keep you on the edge of your seat, this isn't it.
However, if what you are looking for is a little bit of fun with the perfect book boyfriend, I wholeheartedly recommend it.

Fun! But also feels very much like a Middle Book. Not much plot progression, not much character progression, much the same as the first book.
Absurd. One of those books where everything that can go wrong does go wrong, until you get a happily ever after anyway.

A slow murder mystery. Set in Singapore, but with mostly European characters. Not much character work.
