Time Series #1
Beginning Time
Fiona Jensen thought she was just an ordinary woman living an unremarkable life in Brookline, Massachusetts, until the day the trolley crashed. From that point forward, nothing was ordinary.
It was an accident she wasn’t supposed to survive. Time travelers, known as Guardians, had jumped to the scene to ensure all was in order. An unexpected survivor was unwelcome. An unexpected survivor with mysterious talents was a development they couldn’t ignore. Nobody could control time without devices, left on Earth by something unknown. Nobody except, perhaps, Fiona.
Fiona’s world is further rocked when one of the Guardians is a man that haunts her dreams. As the Guardians trying to puzzle out the enigma of Fiona they jump from city to city, and time to time, staying one step ahead of the Liberators, an opposing group of time jumpers. During the jumps she discovers that the dreams were shared. The alpha Major, a man named Sonder, dreamed of her in return.
Will the Guardians, whose mission it is to protect the time stream, decide that Fiona is too dangerous to live? What of the Liberators, those who would try and fix time? Then there are the murky legends of the Traveler, a person with abilities like Fiona appears to have. Could that person be her? Who were the beings that left the devices? Sonder, the enigmatic, compelling man whose dream self had been impossible for other men to measure up to, also looms. The reality of him was more interesting than the dream, but was it real? And what about the Event, a horrible apocalypse looming two hundred years in the future?
Can true love find a foothold when nothing seems real? When the fabric of space and time itself is an illusion?

Just not my thing, especially when the annoying protagonist meets the (literal) man of her dreams within the first five minutes. Predictable, though not the worst written thing I've ever read. Just not for me.

This was quite a fast-paced story which I appreciated. There was no chance to get tired during the book! The plot was quite thrilling and I wanted to read on to see what was going to happen next.
The description of The Event was quite evocative and I found the short post-Event part very intriguing. Although I didn’t really gel with any of the characters, Fiona and Sonder were developed reasonably well, especially through the strange relationship between them.
I found it quite confusing in parts, and it took me a while at the beginning to understand what was happening. This, I think, helped the reader stand in Fiona’s shoes and share in some of her feelings. Cleverly done!
There were a couple of formatting errors but nothing that a fine toothed comb wouldn’t solve!
