"Oh wow! This unique and creative novel leads to the most immersive and intimate yet blisteringly epic story of the highs and lows of a traveller through time. "
Absolutely, completely, and utterly glorious! Time travel has never been so believable or addictive. Knowing the world will come to end, seeing your own corpse, and trying to prevent a potentially catastrophic rupture in history, are all part and parcel of being a traveller through time.
Award-winning author Claire North is beautifully creative and eloquent. Look back over her novels recommended by the LoveReading team and you will see four different editorial experts singing her praises. Her last novel, Slow Gods, was brilliantly original and epic in construction as a super nova event wiped out planets and civilisations.
Here we are with As We Fall Through Time and I can declare it is my favourite of them all. I was caught hook line and sinker, and sat in wonderment as I read. Even though it spins through time I was a part of each and every moment. The sense of place is just immense and I felt as though I knew each location intimately. The characters are fascinating, their choices telling, and each individual second matters.
This will be one of my favourite novels of the year, so it just had to join our LoveReading Star Books, and I’ve chosen it as a Liz Pick of the Month. As We Fall Through Time deserves to fly, it is a truly wonderful read and I can recommend it with my heart and soul.
From the multi-award-winning Claire North comes an extraordinary and epic tale of time travel, betrayal and a love that echoes through the centuries.
