The book you never want to end, and when it does you just want more. This final half of a series that started with Blackout, we follow immediately on from the first book. This isn't really a 2 book series, more of a single book that was split in two. I recommned reading them back to back.
Trapped in London during the Blitz, Polly, Mike & Eileen must first survive and then find a way home.
As this is a book about time travel prepare for things happening in a non-chronological order. Lives are lost in one time stream only to be saved in a later one. The space-time continuum has a plan to ensure history is as it should be and every action taken has a reason.
The early chapters move between 1940 and 1944 but the relevance of what is taking place does not become clear until the second half of the book when little by little everything starts to fall into place.
Willis' writing is pure genius as she intermingles lives across the years. I find myself already mourning the end of the amazing Oxford Time travel series.The book you never want to end, and when it does you just want more.
