Here and Now and Then

I really wanted to like this. Aspects of it are very fun, but every time our main character Kin reveals to someone that time travel exists, they accept it so easily that it loses any impact and then I spend the rest of the time wondering why, for the average person in this novel, learning time travel exists is less mind blowing than listening to a particularly insightful TED talk or something. Imagine Peter Parker is revealing himself to be Spiderman to Mary Jane, and she replies “Cool. Was it tough to make the suit? Should we get Chinese for dinner?”

Well done time travel story. Quick and easy read, but highly entertaining.
