That last book was mind-blowing !! It was chaos from the very beginning until the end. It was a total rollercoaster of suspense, action, and angst. The tension between the characters was so intense it evoked palpable angst. I found myself holding my breath and my chest tightening during most parts in book 3. The ending was perfect but there‘s a small part of me that wishes there were more. I really loved this.

This was a superb ending to an amazing series. I love this series, I can‘t believe how long it took me to discover it. I‘m blown away with everything that happened in this series. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was okay. Many interesting ideas about time travel and how you would view the time before. I thought there were some ideas not explored enough (I kept thinking about smells which he barely mentioned). It is interesting to read something written 50 years ago that is a time travel book , you have to "travel" back to the 70s to think about what he would know and how different another 80 years would be.
Kindred ruined me for these types ?

ChaoticMissAdventures Of books. Nothing is ever as good. This was one of my #25in25 and a Guilded Age #bookedintime @Cuilin though he compares the time period I didn't feel I grossed in 1882. 10h
TheKidUpstairs The smells! So right! I remember a theatre history prof asked what we would notice first if we were transported back to the time of Shakespeare, we all had our various answers but then she put it to us that the first thing anyone would notice would be the smells. I've never forgotten that lesson and always take particular notice when historical fiction authors take the time to describe the smell of a place/time, it adds so much to the atmosphere! 10h
ChaoticMissAdventures @TheKidUpstairs I am fairly sensitive to smells and while he sort of mentioned it I just keep thinking it is what would distract me the most. All the horses, the people who do not have modern toothpaste and only bath once a week or so? He doesn't talk at all about bathrooms, which might be a male overlook thing. One thing he focuses on that I don't think about is he believes food tastes better back then. 10h
Cuilin So interesting, great review!! 5h

I don't remember why I bought this book. I put it on my short list for reading this year. The copy I have is illustrated, lots of (not great?) sketches and some photos from 1880s New York.

I do find the idea of faces being more interesting in the past true and something to ponder that a writer in 1970 had observed this - I hear it called iPhone face now, people whose faces only fit in this time.

We first met Robin in S3E1 at Scoops Ahoyand her first line was "Hey, dingus, your children are here!" Instantly fell for her character then.

Just finished Rebel Robin earlier today and it ended with her meeting Steve as her new coworker. But the novel is actually her backstory where she dreams of leaving Hawkins and was still hating on Steve because of Tammy Thompson. Love her even more with this novel.

5⭐s. A must read for ST fans.

Kerrbearlib Stacked! Have you started watching S5 yet? I‘m two episodes in, loving it so far! 1d
CoffeeK8 Stacked so fast! She‘s my favorite character! 14h
