My thanks to NetGalley and Penguin Young Readers Group Viking Books for Young Readers for an eARC copy of this book to read and review.

This was a DNF at 7%. I wanted to stop at 2%, but decided to push onward and it just didn't work for me.

This is NOT the book, it is completely ME. I didn't appreciate the politics portion of the plot. I read to escape real life, not to wallow in it and this book in my opinion was wallowing in it. Again, NOT a bad thing, I can see this being a big hit with the target audience, I am just not a part of that audience.

The idea of the world being divided into different time eras interested me, but I was not into the isolationism that was rearing it's ugly head as the driving force of the story for the MC. Yes, that time period and location were moving towards isolationism in our real life, so it's not unbelievable, just wasn't what I wanted to read.

No star rating given, as I only read 7% of it and while what I read I didn't enjoy, I know it will work for others and I would not hesitate to suggest it to customers in my store for whom I think this would be a good fit. If you don't mind politics in your sci-fi/fantasy that closely resembles what the world is experiencing now, this may be for you.

Had to give a star rating, so went with 1, sorry.

A good book for Middle School audiences about exploring outside of your comfort zone and questioning the parameters of time. Wouldn't use for a high school audience for a class, but lower level readers might enjoy it.

This was fantastic. I cannot wait for the next in the series.

Absolutely riveting! S. E. Grove imagined maps far beyond what you expect. Think of historic maps, and give them power. You won't regret this third book in the series.

Reminiscent of [book:The Golden Compass|119322], this book fantastically chronicles a world that has been thrown into turmoil by The Great Disruption. Sophia's Uncle Shadrack has spent his life making maps, trying to give reason to the world after continents have been thrown into different time periods. Our protagonist, Sophia, is not nearly as bold as she could be, but it's still easy to root for her. I would definitely recommend this book to fantasy/ya/dystopian/sci-fi fans.
