Obsession with Books

Review: 5 out of 5 starsWriting this review isn’t easy because it would be one huge spoiler, it’s a book that you need to read and unravel for yourself because the outcome and storyline is not what is expected.Time travel books are usually hit or miss for me but Cristin Terrill’s imaginative and detailed world is pure perfection; it isn’t without a few minor faults but I was able to easily overlook them because I was so absorbed in the overall story and what was actually going on.Detailing each of the characters will be incredibly vague as they are all connected in one form or another but each were fleshed out perfectly and progressed from the beginning of the book to the end, they were all one big surprise.Told in past and present setting dual narrative between Em & Marina the story which unfolds link the characters in the most startling way; both have a unique voice and play differing roles in the overall story.At the beginning of the book Em is locked in a cell alongside a boy named Finn in a military base being mistreated and abused regularly for an important piece of information, she knows she has been in this predicament before and needs to travel back to a place in time to prevent a tragedy from unfolding and follows a note she has found to kill someone who has been very dear to her.We also meet James, a young science prodigy and the boy Marina has been in love with for a very long time; he was an introverted genius who played a vital role in the story; he both shocked and saddened me. Finn is James close friend and a bit of a mystery at the beginning of the book but I came to love the role he played and his relationship with Em.The plot of All Our Yesterdays is fast-paced and kept me flipping through the pages as I anticipated what was going to happen, it was a non-stop thrill ride as we follow Em and Finn on their quest. The world-building was perfect, everything was thoroughly explained and neatly wrapped up in the most perfect ending; it was riveting to see how important events tied the realities together.Overall, Cristin Terrill’s All Our Yesterdays is a wonderfully crafted, unique page-turner that is written perfectly. With twists and turns aplenty and action-packed sequences. I highly recommend this brilliant book.Thank-you kindly to Bloomsbury Publishing Australia for the opportunity to read and review All Our Yesterdays.
