A Swift and Sudden Exit
by
Time traveller Zera is tasked with collecting data of a catastrophic storm but keeps bumping into the same woman in different eras. Why do they keep meeting? Why doesn't this mysterious woman age and can they change the future?
I had so much fun with this one. A sapphic slow burn. Not too many characters so it was easy to remember who was who. Didn’t get confused between Zera’s original year and whichever year she went to. Appreciated how Katherine was very aware of her situation and was TRYING to keep Zera on track. For a time traveller Zera gets distracted easily. It’s pretty easy to tell from the start that she's attracted to shiny things so it's not surprising when she gets to time travel she's mentally all over the place.
Katherine wants a cure for her immortality so she can age and live out her life as a regular human, Zera wants data about a storm that keeps repeating throughout history. They agree to help each other and over the few times they meet Katherine changes as a person. Katherine’s personality changes a lot over time behind the scenes so because I didn’t see her grow as a character I wasn’t a fan of the romance. It's only a slow burn because it takes a while in the books for them to make any move but technically they've only spent a short while with each other, maybe a week in total?
No spoilers here but the ending/reveal? I was suspicious but for some reason the reveal still snuck up on me. I’m sure most people reading this will put two and two together before I manage to!
Mild Spoiler: (view spoiler)
While the time travel didn’t confuse me too much I felt like the plot got a bit lost/repetitive. Some things just seemed a bit too convenient. Otherwise I had fun.
