I'm really excited to be on the Blog Tour for The Lights of Time by Paul Ian Cross. I was sent a copy for honest review. Thank you so much to Rachel's Random Resources and Paul Ian Cross for letting me be a part of this fun tour.
Title: The Lights of Time
Author: Paul Ian Cross
Synopsis: Engella
Rhys is alone, adrift and on the run. Pursued by a secret agency,
known only as the Hunters, she must stay ahead to stay alive.
As she travels through space-time using dangerously experimental technology, she only has one wish: to be reunited with her lost parents. After a close shave with a Hunter on the streets of New Shanghai, Engella escapes to find herself on a deserted beach. When she meets a kind stranger, who offers her food and shelter, Engella feels safe and protected for the first time in years.
But who is this woman? And why did their paths cross at the most convenient of times?
Engella soon discovers their lives
are intertwined in more ways than she could ever imagine.
My Thoughts: Thanks so much to Rachel's Random Resources and Paul Ian Cross for giving me the chance to read this for honest review. I thought The Lights of Time was fantastic! It's the first book in a new Middle Grade Series. It's got time travel, it's got action, and it has a girl named Engella who is on the run from Hunters. It was a lot of fun to read. I think Middle Graders will love it, and it worked for me as an adult reader too.
I love books about Time Travel, so I loved seeing it incorporated in The Lights of Time. It was a breathless ride of Engella having to stay one step ahead of the hunters and having to jump to different times to do that.
I really enjoyed the writing style. I was hooked to the story.
The Lights of Time was a whole lot of fun to read and I'd definitely recommend picking it up. If you like time travel and action, then this is the book for you.
