“Would you paint something for me? Maybe . . .maybe something from your memory?”
“Something . . .happy?” Rose asked, looking up at her.
“Yes,” the girl said softly, taking her hand. “Something happy.”

pickDelightful, literary, timey-wimey fun.
I read this book over 10 years ago and picked it up again, and it was just as good as I remembered.
pickOh I loved this as much as I hoped I would. It‘s a time travel story, it‘s a love story, a friendship story. Read it even if you don‘t think you want a time travel story; I defy you not to fall for Commander Graham Gore.
Great to catch Kaliane Bradley speak about her last book - and hear about the new one too...
so-soThe weapon shops are the only recourse against the tyranny of the Isher empire although the weapons they sell can only work as self-defence for their owner.
I was a great fan of the author as a teenager - especially the Null-A books - so I must have read this before, but I had no memory of the story. I expect I enjoyed it then, mainly because I was unaware of certain controversies it seems to be playing into. Now, not so much.
pickI enjoyed this time travel sci-fi debut, and I look forward to further adventures with Rabbit Ward in the future.
This has a bit of an Indiana Jones vibe with our lead character being a treasure-hunting archaeologist with competition dogging his trail and a bit of possible romance thrown into the mix. There‘s also good historical world building and research that adds to flavoring the story with vivid imagery. I did (occasionally) have some🔻
pickI have been enjoying this series immensely and this novella (#3.5 in the series) is no exception. The combination of mystery, historical fiction, time travel and the hint of romance meets all my wants for a fun read. This one had Mallory taking the lead in a case and had her meeting up with Charles Dickens. I highly recommend starting with the first in the series “A Rip Through Time“. 4.25/5 stars
