Timebound

Amongst the crop of YA-Teen-Heroine-Saves-the-World trilogies (and I assume that this is the start of a trilogy) this novel stands out for have consistent internal logic. The writing moves quickly and draws the reader into the story. I enjoyed the attention to details as various characters' actions reverberated through time and the memories and situations of other characters are affected. I would recommend this novel to anyone looking for YA science fiction. However, I did not feel that the Audible reader did justice to the material. Especially during conversations her phrasing and intonations did not sound like people talking and failed to put stress on words and syllables where it would naturally occur. Perhaps she did not have the opportunity to read the work before it was recorded (though I doubt that very much), but the recording indicates a lack of preparation to me. I recommend skipping the audio version and reading this book with your own eyes.
