It wasn't a bad read. It did pass the time away. I didn't stumble through bad editing. I guess what has me staying at a solid three stars for this one is that there isn't really a strong connection or bond to anyone in this book. Not with Magnus Berg, Mara, her elderly neighbors, Efill, Vigi, Olafr, Brenda, Sigga, Bera Valka, or even Estie her loyal Rainbow Jumper Pet. Maybe there just needed to be more written for these things but it all ended in a cliff hanger. I really truly didn't even like this pro football player as the love interest in this story. And why are all these men so attractive. The time era would suggest otherwise due to missing teeth and lack of personal care products.
And there are a few other important questions I have.
1. Why can she return to the exact time? Is it because she has to do something to fix for that specific time? I don't know but I think there should have been a little more clarity on that point.
2. Didn't she get extra rechargeable phones? And not have any of them already charged and ready to go so that she could return to her time or escape if something ever happened to her? Did she not also get more than one solar charger to charge up her phones? And wouldn't being on her phone also cause the battery to drain and thus make it a longer wait for it to recharge? Especially if she knows her life is hanging on the line?
3. Why take a shower right before going back into the "dirty" lake again? Wouldn't she just get dirty again? She took a shower the night before, so why take another one just to get dirty again?
4. How really likely was it to meet a girl who just happens to be in London AND happens to marry a man from the same of the village Tilda has landed in?
5. Is it wrong of me to think that Tilda is rude for staying in a house that she barely knows the owners of when she first arrived?
Anyways. It's not a bad story; there is some subtle humor in it (though very light). I just don't really feel all that invested in this story after reading all 172 pages of it.
Other readers may find this story enjoyable. You decide.

Rainbow jumpers? To farfetched for me.

Gaspingly unrealistic.
