Review of Time for PSyQ
[Following is a volunteer review of "Time for PSyQ" by Marti Ward.]
The fantastic adventure narrative “Time for PSyQ” by Marti Ward is set in the near future. Time and reality are mingled together, rather like in a dream. The author leads us on a journey with engaging people; each of them has their own emotions and motivations. We become genuinely attached to them as we get to know them so well. This book is about Airlie Sanderson and her friends. Airlie receives a cat named Sooty for her eleventh birthday. Airlie discovers her cat’s unusual abilities quite quickly. These abilities alter Airlie’s life as well as the lives of her companions, Yan and Lilly. Airlie’s abilities are put to the test when her companion, Kate, is abducted.
An intriguing ensemble of characters with distinctive personalities and goals is introduced to us throughout the story. The nuances of human nature are expertly explored by Ward as they travel around this complicated cosmos, stretching the limits of our perception of self and identity. Readers will find themselves developing real ties with each protagonist because of the exceptional depth of character development.
What I liked in this book is how rhythmically the story has been handled, with just the right amount of action-packed scenes and reflective passages. Ward creates a rhythmic flow that keeps one completely engrossed by displaying a good awareness of when to heighten the suspense and when to allow the reader to breathe. The well-done plot twists and turns offer unanticipated surprises that will keep readers excitedly flipping the pages. We can visualize the dystopian society and the unusual places the characters visit since the author conjures pictures with her words. We have the impression of being there with them.
There is nothing to dislike in this book, and I did not find any shortcomings while reading it. The narrative also includes exciting and reflective moments. It resembles a roller coaster ride with stops for us to regain our breath. The story is made much more interesting by the unexpected elements in it. When we assume we understand what will happen, something unexpected happens.
We embark on an intriguing excursion in this book. We become close friends with the characters. We can visualize the locations they visit since they are explained so well. We are hooked by the thrills and surprises that occur. The story also challenges us to consider significant concepts in a straightforward manner. “Time for PSyQ” is unquestionably a book you should read if you enjoy tales that pique your curiosity and stimulate your imagination.
The book was exceptionally well edited, and I did not find any errors. For this engaging writing and the thrills and surprises that are thrown at the readers, I would rate this book a solid 5 out of 5.
