I really enjoyed this meditation on the frustrations of being a small cog in an overwhelmingly large machine.
I love that I read an entire book where the main character's

name is Quinoa. That made me laugh :)

. While I noticed the devices used to plug holes in the time-travelling story, I felt they were sufficiently well woven in. The world building was excellent - every time I had to stop reading I found it hard to get my head back in the real world. So saying, I did find I could put the book down, as it was predictable and not too tense. Which was great for me, but the tag line of 'anywhere and any-when' makes it sound like it's going to be more of a fast paced adventure all over the timeline, so I think that tag line sets readers up for disappointment. This isn't Timeless. It's a story about frustration and family and compassion and compromise. The time travel is a device to facilitate the story, rather than the point of it.
