Time's Twisted Arrow by Rysa Walker
5.0
By pure chance, I started this book about the same time I decided to get caught up on Doctor Who. I had finished the Series 7 episodes that were out and was exceedingly dismayed that the next episode wouldn't be until the end of March. Ordinarily, I'm stuck when I'm in a Doctor Who mood because, really, what even comes close? But I must say, I've finally found something that fits when I'm in a mood for The Doctor...
Walker knows how to write a riveting story, starting with a scene that immediately pulls you in and compels you to continue reading until you know what will become of poor Kate.
Rysa Walker takes what could be a difficult and confusing progression of crossing timelines and creates scenes that are simultaneously charming, sometimes romantic, and with just the right amount of humor, keeping the reader wanting to sort out the web until it all makes sense.
And I loved how, at one point, Kate just sort of gives up on trying to figure out what verb tense to use when talking of something that is part of a person's past but is technically in the future (or vice versa). The English language really isn't designed for that sort of complications. It made me wonder if the language of the Time Lords has past future tenses or future past tenses. Certainly would make it a bit easier...
And I really liked Kiernan. Don't know why but he was a truly endearing character. The author does a good job with the characterization, which is something I've come to find as a marker of a well written book, along with proper editing and professional formatting, which Time's Twisted Arrow has as well.
All in all, Time's Twisted Arrow is well worth the read and I look forward to seeing what else Rysa Walker can do.
