Odd pacing but great characters
I've always loved time travel, and the way this story used time loops and Fixed Points was very cool. The pacing of the story was a little odd in places — some of the conflicts felt like they resolved too quickly in order to jump into a new one — but the well-rounded and fascinating characters more than made up for that. Having both Lex and Ember's POVs showed both sides of the world's moral conflict in a very accessible way, which was super cool.
Definitely worth the read.
The story is of two factions of time travelers. The Tesla Institute and The Hollows. Both travel back and forth in time gathering important objects. We get the story through two “Rifters” Lex and Ember.
When Lex's girlfriend is killed during a mission he vows to change back time to save her. Lex and Ember must work together to piece their memories together and find out who they were before they were time traveling. I found this most interesting on how they figured it out.
I also enjoyed the two different approaches each faction uses to travel. I am looking forward to reading more of this series as it goes on.
