A lot has happened since my last post which should be 14 % not page 14. D'qundray, Elijah & Bradley have meant Marissa who was appointed by her grandpa yrs ago to introduce them to time travel. They enter phase 1 and to say that the whole experience had me swirling in anxiety would be an understatement. D'Qundray who has little to no black consciousness has chosen to go back to slavery. Needless to say I'm scared!

This is still really captivating. There are some connections with certain people I wasn't expecting. . D'Qundray's life as a slave has truly changed him. I can't wait to find out where Elijah and Bradley have traveled.

There is one scene, I don't want to giveaway too much, but it had me screaming with laughter. The sign of a good read is when it has you experiencing a gamut of emotion! I've gone from crying to laughing. Can't wait to get back to it later tonight!

I'm a little past the midpoint of the book and am still enjoying it. T.O. is a master ar description. It really draws me into the story. D'Quandray made it back home after transporting to the plantation and his return with his new found appreication for his life of luxurty and freedom brought me to tears. T.O. really wrote the heck out of the scene. I love how the story alternates from current day to the slavery.

Ok I need to go to bed. it's almost 2am. I can't put this book down. D'Qundray has time traveled to a plantation and is experiencing some horrible things. I don't want to include spoilers. He's been there five years and has befriended several slaves. I'm on the edge of my seat afraid of what might end up happening. This is a trip, a totally different life for him. OMG.

I started Circa 1740 and am hooked. The opening is Fire! I was tensing up & gritting my teeth. Burnett's a pro at describing action scenes. I remember many of them from his Sapien series. I don't want to include spoilers, but the book will grab you from the start. There are some interesting characters introduced in C1: D'Quandray a former basketball star, Maliq, Bradley, & Elijah. I'm already connecting to them.
