And I've...Ah, this book sounds totally awesome! And I've only really read one other book (well, two since it was a duology) set in Australia in the future (When We Wake and If We Run), and I LOVED it. Even though I don't live in Sydney, it's just the general Australian-ness of books set in our country that I love. It makes it so relatable, and I find myself realising how often I feel disconnected to books set in the US. <br /><br />And also, a unique twist on time travel? Hells to the YES.<br /><br />And a *hint* of romance means a slowburn, which I am 100% on board for ;D<br /><br />Lovely review, Eugenia ^.^ <3Chiara @ Books for a Delicate Eternityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04181153932836441611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1530164804090408863.post-78506229656536982762015-05-18T21:18:37.085+10:002015-05-18T21:18:37.085+10:00It is Joy!

It's so refreshing to have a novel that doesn't put a massive focus on the romance to allow the other aspects to shine through.

I haven't come across time skipping in any book I've read so far, but can't wait to see what it's all about. I love when the author doesn't feel the need to complicate the storyline by forcing a romance, but gives the reader time to immerse themselves within their created world first. And she's Victorian, so I need this even more now. If it wasn't for your wonderful review, I would have hated to think I might not have discovered this one <3Diva Booknerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17808412083567644984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1530164804090408863.post-43827660003695331482015-05-15T19:01:09.890+10:002015-05-15T19:01:09.890+10:00I'm quite curious about this one!

I me...I cannot explain how excited I am about this! I mean, I never realised how badly I want Sydney dystopia before I read this review... but... I want it! I'm so used to sci fi and dystopias set anywhere but in Australia, but I'm very intrigued to see how Thalie Kalkipsakis has brought an Australian flavour to a time travel story!
