Today I review Jody Hedlund’s book, Never Leave Me, which is the second book of the Waters of Time Series.
Never Leave Me Review
Great book in one of my favorite series by Jody Hedlund. I know that time travel romance isn’t for everyone, but both eras struck me really well, I liked the characters, and I enjoyed how the author wove things together.
Heartwarming and encouraging, this was a great summer read.
The main character in this book is quite a bit different than the last one. I especially enjoyed the main male character. I found it poignant how the story followed two people who were so alike in some ways: hindered but hopeful, reserved but giving and merciful.
I didn’t get the kid-thing at the end. Still, this was a book I looked forward and enjoyed as soon as I could. 🙂
There were a few characters with “loose ends.” I’m not sure whether there will be a third book in this series, but I’d enjoy seeing a historical fiction series spin off of this one to follow those characters.
