Sounds like a interesting dystopian read. Even though it may not be of my genre of interest, I found the plot entertaining. Thank you for sharing!

Its an amazing dystopian fiction. The time travel is amazing and fantastic. The review captured my attention and then the book itself blew my mind away. Great Job :D

The title of the book led me to believe it was time travel but the cover wasn't as drawing to me; however, after I read your review I can't wait to read the book. Thank you for this interesting look into these characters I haven't even met yet.

The Quantum Cartographer
In chapter one, Kristen describe a very courageous woman,a quick thinker and focused woman, Eliza. The activities of this woman make the story feel lively and a real action like. :clap: :clap:

After reading the review this book sounds interesting. The time travel and sci-fi combination sounds exciting. Also the review describes various characters that seem likable and humorous. I admit science fiction is not my favorite genre but this book could be on my maybe list.

I agree, The Quantum Cartographer, is not a book I would read. Me not being a sci-fi person, the book was still very exciting starting when Eliza starred at the butcher knife. I'm thinking she's crazy to go for it, only to find out she had it all planned out. I was also on the edge of my seat hoping she got away, wondering what would happen next. I would watch a movie of the book if it was just as exciting and adventurous as the book.

Thank you for previewing the characters as well as the action. I agree that time travel narratives can get confusing quickly (as can much sci-fi), so I am glad to read that the confusion cleared quickly for you. It also helps to have engaging characters to follow and that sounds like what readers can expect here.

Hmmm. This sounds very interesting. I'd love to give it a try even if time travel is not my thing. But who knows? I might like it. Thanks for the review!

I know this book is a good book. Mainly because I can sense the enthusiasm in this review and partly because of the intrigue behind the name and the concept behind the name.

I'm usually not a sci-fi reader, however this seems to be not only sci-fi but suspence. Eliza is running from her past at the same time trying to embrace her son's future. I'm in suspence to learn where her son is from and how she and the proctor are connected. Therefore I believe I will be reading the whole book at some point.

I'm usually careful about the reviews I read, so as not to stumble on spoilers, but your review of this book gives just the right amount (of information) away, it makes me want to read the book.
Good job, kislany.

I found the first few pages very jerky, but I love the premise. Does the dialogue and writing even out?
