Review of 'Timebound' on 'Goodreads'

A fun ride

Time travel books can be utterly confusing, but Rysa Walker does a nice job of keeping her twists and turns just straight enough that it's easy to keep up - and all the more fun for it. While I found the narrative section when they were in the hotel at the Chicago Fair a bit of a slog, it was short enough and close enough tho the end that it wasn't as much of a hurdle as it could have been, The world-building is great and the characters develop nicely. I'd certainly recommend it, not just for time travel fans, but for fans of well-told tales that just happen to feature time travel.
