The Best Time Travel Story since Outlander. I don’t usually tear through books this fast, but I read Time Passages: Echoes of Troy in two sittings. It completely pulled me in. Think Game of Thrones meets Outlander, but with its own original twist. Brodi, a modern Navy SEAL, ends up in ancient Troy, and the journey from there is packed with tension, heart, and unforgettable moments and the love story adds an extra element. What really blew me away, though, was the writing. DeLucia’s voice is sharp and cinematic. His characters feel real. It’s smart and moves well. I kept saying, “just one more chapter.” If you’re into epic fantasy with romance, and high stakes—this one’s worth your time.
I never read time travel books as its not a favorite genre but wanted to branch out a little. I love Greek mythology so with this being partially based in Greece was nice. The book is detailed and draws you in following Bodi as he gets thrown into the past.
