Review: Threads in Time by Hannah De Giorgis


Threads in Time
by Hannah De Giorgis
Published: January 25, 2019
Genre: Time Travel, Science Fiction


Blurb:

Twenty-two-year-old Lyndall Huxley wakes to find herself thousands of years into the future. Something went wrong with the programme for which she volunteered - a programme that employs Einstein’s laws of relativity to send travellers forward in time. The ruins overrun by green woodland in which she wakes are a far cry from the urbanised world she left behind in the 2200's. Lyndall embarks upon a journey that will leave her questioning her very identity. She must choose between the new life that beckons and the old life from which, even thousands of years later, she cannot escape. She will discover that the mission was never about sending people into the future. Much more is at stake.
                                  
"Thoughtful, clever, poignant and thought-provoking in equal measure"
- The Scotsman

"A thinking person’s sci-fi novel with plot twists a-plenty"
- Boston Standard

"Given its cinematic potential, it is possible – perhaps likely – that Threads in Time, the first in a planned trilogy, will follow its literary forefathers to the Big Screen."
- The Yorkshire Post


My Review:

Tragedy strikes Twenty-two-year-old Lyndall Huxley and leaves her with a broken heart. In one night she loses her whole family and she feels as if it is all her fault. Her heart was torn right out of her chest leaving nothing but a shell of a person in its wake. She is so heartbroken that she lashes out at the one person left in her life that she cares for greatly. Lyndall lashes out at him and causing a big rift in their relationship. Lyndall hurts so bad she just wants to be a lone.

So when she hears about this program where she can leave it all behind and time travel to the future she jumps in head first. Lyndall is sent thousands of years into the future into a world that has been devastated by time and probably the people as well.

Lyndall’s life has been turned upside down by her past and the future as well. Lyndall finds out that her little trip into the future is not quite like she was told by the people from her past. She learns that she has been lied too by the people in her past. Someone from the future is also not being honest with her but she is not sure who that is. Lyndall has no idea who she can trust. Can she trust her new friends?

Threads in Time was a fast paced read that had me hooked from the first page. There was action and adventure on every page. I can’t wait to check out more books in this series. The world building is phenomenal and the characters were just as amazing.


I would recommend Threads in Time of anyone who likes a good science fiction/time travel novel.
