Timebound by Rysa Walker

3.0

This is another of those enigmas as to where to rate it. The concept of time travel being presented is fun and interesting along with the jumps to some of the more famous time periods that exist (the World's Fair in Chicago, for example). However its extremely hard to actually really fully relate to the characters involved. Of course there is a tangled love story (duhhhh) though I found it overly off-putting as to how quickly Rysa Walker wrote their love growing. We are talking the sort where we meet and immediately we are in love and oh i would do anything for you... blah blah blah. Its nauseating. A number of the secondary characters really have no depth either, or their depth comes from doing something that is nearly 100% out of character for who they are. Leaps of faith are something we take in certain circumstances, but not typically when our life (and that of our descendants and really the whole world) are on the line.

*shrug* maybe I'm just cynical. But the above average writing and overall enveloping nature of the story was enough to warrant 3 stars.
