review 1: This book had a lot of potential. An interesting touch on reincarnation as time travel, yes please. But, this is kind of where it stopped. I read a lot of YA fiction, but the protagonist was a lot more on the young side of the genre. As in, I wanted to shake her most of the time for being an idiot. Or all of the time. There's a lot of hand-waving on the world building, and the ending comes on pretty quickly with a lot of nonsense that serves to tie up the plot. PS there aren't actually 57 lives in this book. More like five.
review 2: Okay, so this book was freaking awesome. It isn't something I was particularly in the mood for, just randomly picked up and it hooked me in instantly. The character of Alex is quirky and smart and never annoyed me, which doesn't ha... moreppen often. The relationship she forms and actions she makes are realistic and although she and the reader are given a lot of information, it's very easy to keep track, which I was glad about. The writing style is fantastic, a great balance between almost poetic and simplistic. The author was also very successful in her use of past and present tense when switching between time periods, adding extra flair to the novel. Extremely fast paced and exciting, it's completely different to most things I've read. There were a lot of time when the plot could have flopped but the author never let me down once. It is a fantastic debut novel, and I can't wait for the rest of the series. less
