I am currently reading this historical fiction. I agree with your 4 stars review and I am not even done yet. I just can't put it down.

I am about to start reading this book, and I'm so excited after reading the full review! I love historical fiction, and the idea of reincarnation is very intriquing. I love fantasy novels and concepts of time twisting, so a plot involving reincarnation would be fascinating if done well. Since this novel gets a 4 out of 4, I am hopeful that this will be a book worth discovering and reading!

This book has such a unique sounding plot. What could be better than a romance that explores reincarnation? It sounds like the book boasts both well-developed characters and an intriguing premise. I also like that it is the female character who saves the male at the beginning; this tells me that the book isn't going to be another damsel-in-distress type of book. Thanks for the wonderful review!

I like the sound of the historical aspect of this book, not so sure about the reincarnation bit. Sounds quite original, though.

The perspective of seeing so much of the past in one book is intriguing, but I'm not sure that I will like the romance.

I like when history is explored in interesting ways. This book uses reincarnation and past lives to show us different times and places. I like that the underlying theme seems to be love.

This sounds like a complex historical fiction novel. Not only does it contain events such as The Great Chicago Fire, but also has a wonderful romantic storyline. Congrats on the book of the day. Great review.

I do not believe in reincarnation. It sounds like a fictional, made-up concept and there is no evidence for it. It does not comply with common sense or Christian teaching, which is another reason I reject it.
