Top Ten Tuesday: Freebie

This week's Top Ten Tuesday is a freebie week. Since I recently finished Wayfarer, it's inspired me to think of places in time I'd love to glimpse (you know, provided I could come back to my life here).

You can read my review of Wayfarer here.

Jane Austen's Regency England - I want to go to a ball
Renaissance Italy - to meet Michelangelo
Colonial America - I want to see the Revolution
Seneca Falls, Geneva - I want to attend the Women's Rights Convention
1920s in Paris - I want to attend a Salon of ideas
Medici Florence - just to see the wealth of their power and all the art created
Marie Antoinette's Paris (before the Revolution)
The Titanic (before it sank)
England during the Celtic period
Imperial Russia before the Revolution 

Where would you travel to?

Review: Wayfarer

* sequel to Passenger * 

Wayfarer picks up just as Passenger left off, dividing Etta and Nicholas. Etta wakes up alone in a strange house, scared. But she finds answers to questions she never knew she had, especially once she meets Julian - the long lost heir.

Nicholas and Sophia have no knowledge of Etta's whereabouts, but they race through time trying to undercover her timeline. They come to realize if they finds the astrolabe, they can search for Etta, so they widen their search. With the help of a new friend, they fight off all the people trying to kill them, but not without consequences

Will Etta and Nicholas find each other again? Will they solve the problem for the future or will their fight lead to the destruction of everything they know?

My Thoughts:I adore Alex Bracken books, so I was so happy to receive this one! I really enjoyed the ending of this duology. I love that it picked up right where Passengers left off. Alex Bracken knows how to write characters that draw me in. I would read anything with these characters. I love them so. I know they go through terrible moments, but I just needed everything to work out for them in the end...

I love that Etta meets Julian (and has to rely on him). They have great banter between them. I enjoyed her interactions with Henry and how that changed her way of thinking about her previous years. I enjoyed Sophia and how she took control over her destiny. I loved her moments with Li Min. I felt terrible for all the anguish that Nicholas and Etta went through. 

I loved the locations this book dragged the readers through, it made me think of all the places I'd love to travel to - provided I could get back home of course.

Love, romance, friendship, loyalty, betrayal, secrets, time travel, family - what's not to love about this book, it has it all! 

Cover Thoughts: Gorgeous and matches the first one well.
