Haddix's story takes its best turn yet as she pulls Jonah and Katherine into uncharted territory - literally. Her storytelling skills kept me on the edge of my seat. The characters are so fantastic and bursting with individually and personality; I LOVE it.
I am not sure if I agree or disagree with the actions of Second, but I am certain that I'm absolutely obsessed with this intriguing character. Is it a bad thing that I start inwardly cheering when I see his name on the page?
The underlying questioning of the morality of changing time really made me think. Why I should care? I don't know. But now I do. I cannot wait to find out what happens next!
