I'm hunting up the next 2 books right now. Added them to my wl. Next stop my libraries (I'd say I'd be shopping, but my book budget is mostly spent on shipping & it's blown for the year).
So, I'd barely call this SciFi. Adventure fiction, historical (in a way, perhaps the others more so), cultural fiction, touch of paranormal (it all depends on your perspective on psychics & psychometry) & a touch of romance & suspense.
But what it was, was interesting! I connected to the main characters, and the historical characters. I often get frustrated with multiple viewpoints & flashbacks, but not in this case...no confusion. Great world building. Great job helping us understand the challenges & trauma Matt dealt with!
I knocked back 1/2 star for obvious overuse of the villain to drive the story. More said would be a spoiler...but I found him an unnecessary cheat & the most uninteresting thing about the book.
