#TheTidesOfTime #NetGalley

Sarah M Eden is changing directions with a time travel novel. Lili Monet has helped several people escape the gullitine and needs to find her way out of France. When a bad storm pulls her eighty years into the future, she is perplexed about how she arrived at a lighthouse near the sea and quickly befriends the owners of the lighthouse. As things unfold, she realizes the storm and a green light in the midst of the sea are what push her through the tides of time and once again ride the tides of time. There is quite a bit of French mixed in with English but it is all apart of the feelings surrounding the time period and it didn't bother me, I only mentioned it because of another review that I read.

I really wanted it enjoy this story. The premise and setting are interesting. However, I couldn't get past the way the author used the characters language barriers. It's one thing to understand the characters speak an entirely different language and another to have that language painstakingly spelled out word for word. The dialectic of the lighthouse keeper was especially hard to read.
