Welp, I just don’t know how I feel.
I want to thank the Head of Zeus and Net Galley for letting me receive a copy of this ARC for an honest review.
Book Review:
The book started slow, so slow that I couldn’t even read it. And then by the end, it as going so fast I could barely comprehend.
The twists and turns made my head hurt, and even after getting all the answers, I still don’t get it.
Time travel is such a hard topic to wrap a head around. I feel like there are some assumptions made in this book that just make it hard to get it.
The dad, Sam, whole role was frankly unnecessary. His time travel POVs were not necessary to the story as a whole. They only provided a glimpse of what was going on with him. Then halfway throughout the book, his POVs dropped off.
Adeline had a great storyline, and I loved the twists and turns of her characters. But I still don’t understand why. Why did she do what she did half the time? Her constitution swayed so much between who and what she trusted.
If you read this book, you have to hold out til the last half to get sucked in.

Synopsis:
“When his daughter is falsely accused of murder, a scientist must travel 200 million years into the past to save her. But there are secrets waiting there. And more than her life is at stake.
From the worldwide bestselling author of Departure and Winter World comes a standalone novel with a twist you’ll never see coming.
Control the Past.
Save the Future.
One morning, Dr. Sam Anderson wakes up to discover that the woman he loves has been murdered.
For Sam, the horror is only beginning.
He and his daughter are accused of the crime.
The evidence is ironclad. They will be convicted.
And so, Sam does what he must: he confesses to the crime.
But in the future, murderers aren’t sent to prison.
They’re sent to the past.
Two hundred million years into the past—to the age of the dinosaurs—to live out their lives alone, in exile from the human race.
Sam accepts his fate.
But his daughter doesn’t.
Adeline Anderson has already lost her mother to a deadly and unfair disease. She can’t bear to lose her father.
She sets out on a quest to prove him innocent. And get him back. People around her insist that both are impossible tasks.” -Goodreads
