A review by thegreatgabsby
The Lord of the Sands of Time by Issui Ogawa

3.0

I'm not usually a fan of SF (totally Team Fantasy) and I got the impression (from the blurb) that this would be pretty heavy on romance (and would potentially be unbearably saccharine) but I decided to read it anyway since it was short and the non-romance-related premise sounded interesting. Boy, was I glad I did. The (translated) writing was easy to follow, the action engaging (and this coming from someone with an almost non-existent attention span) and the romance kept to a bare minimum. While some parts took slower reads to understand (especially all the time-hopping, alternate-timestream madness), it was a pretty exciting read overall.
