Having narrowly escaped the clutches of Diotech, Sera (16yo) and Zen (18yo) are living the lives they dreamed of by traveling back in time to 1609. Zen is a natural at fitting in, but Sera sees suspicion in the eyes of those around them who can sense that she’s different. In 2013, Sera was called a miracle; in 1609, she’s called a witch.
The progression of the story was logical without being overly predictable, and it continued to be fast-paced. Brody introduced a host of problems as Sera learned more about the transession gene and Diotech—and the consequences of letting both continue unrestricted. With everything going wrong for Sera at the end of this book, it will be interesting to see what kind of solutions Brody comes up with in the next book. Sera and Zen are implied White.
