Book Review: The Lights of Time by Paul Ian Cross

Engella Rhys is alone, adrift and on the run. Pursued by a secret agency, known only as the Hunters, she must stay ahead to stay alive.

As she travels through space-time using dangerously experimental technology, she only has one wish: to be reunited with her lost parents. After a close shave with a Hunter on the streets of New Shanghai, Engella escapes to find herself on a deserted beach. When she meets a kind stranger, who offers her food and shelter, Engella feels safe and protected for the first time in years.

But who is this woman? And why did their paths cross at the most convenient of times?

Engella soon discovers their lives are intertwined in more ways than she could ever imagine.

The cover of this novel is so beautiful and I love the title.

Engella has been running from the hunters for so long, she’s started to lose track of time.

She knows she can’t hide forever. Just when she thinks she’s been caught, she gets help from an unexpected source.

Engella is many things. She’s mysterious, fierce, vulnerable and strong. There is more to her than we see I am sure. All of the characters seem strong actually.

I very much got immersed into this world of time travel, sci-fi and mystery.
