The breathtaking sequel to the acclaimed The Girl from Everywhere. Nix has spent her whole life journeying to places both real and imagined aboard her time-traveling father's ship. And now it's finally time for her to take the helm. Her future lies bright before her - until she learns that she is destined to lose the one she loves. Desperate to change her fate, Nix sails her crew to a mythical utopia to meet another Navigator who promises to teach her how to manipulate time. But everything in this utopia is constantly changing, and nothing is what it seems. Not even her relationship with Kash: best friend, thief, charmer extraordinaire. Heidi Heilig weaves fantasy, history, and romance together to tackle questions of free will, fate, and what it means to love another person. At the centre of this adventure are extraordinary, complicated, and multicultural characters who leap off the page, and an intricate, recognizable world that has no bounds. This sequel - and conclusion - to The Girl from Everywhere includes five black-and-white maps of historical and mythical locations. Fans of Alwyn Hamilton, Sarah J. Maas, and Outlander will be swept away.

I enjoyed the first book quite a bit, and I think I liked this second one a bit more. The mix of history, myth, fantasy, time travel and romance is a blend I already love, so perhaps I am biased, but Heidi also puts a lot of emotion behind it and Nix is a character I really like and felt for throughout the story, even when she was making questionable decisions. Not to mention Kashmir, who I think takes the cake for most likeable love interest. I really enjoyed visiting the mythical, slightly creepy, city of Ker Ys. It made a great backdrop for a story that really mostly focuses on relationships, fate and whether or not it is right or just to change the past and the future. There were a lot of twists and turns that kept me flipping pages and the end was a heart-wrenching, emotional ride that left me drained, but satisfied. I really hope there are more to come in the series, because I really enjoyed them both and would love to follow Nix, Kash and the crew on more adventures.
