I struggled through this book. I was interested in the story line (which is why I stuck with it)…but it was a bit painful to listen to. There was zero depth to these characters. An excessive amount of “Sam said…” or “Sam thought,” or “Sam believed.” Too much narration of what characters were doing and not enough internal dialogue to help us understand the motivations of the characters. It made for one dimensional characters with a lot of unrealistic dialogue.

This was the second book I have read from this author. The first was The Extinction Trials. I remember feeling the same way about that book as well, so I didn’t continue reading the series. I now realize this is the authors writing style. It seems he has great ideas, but lacks the depth that I’m looking for in a book.

I also found the narrator very dull.

I loved The Martian and kept getting this book as a recommendation, so I finally gave it a try. I loved it. It’s one of the best books I’ve read in a long time. And the narration was “amaze” too, I love the inflection and wit Ray Porter puts in his narration.

I’m now looking forward to reading another one of Andy Weir’s books.

If you are a Syfy fan…read this book now. Don’t wait.

This is my first book review, ever, so pardon my “newness” to the process if I make any rookie mistakes.

I am a big fan of time travel stories, and I have read my fair share of them. I’m very interested in how each author interprets the concept of time travel and how they apply the “rules”. Frequently, authors follow similar paths as to how time travel works, which can feel a little like “ok, sure, this again.” This, however, did not happen in Drawn In. It was a very unique and unexpected approach to time travel that I was very surprised by.

The main character felt very familiar to me as I share many of her nerdy passions such as Sci-fi, the love of theater, shows like Doctor Who and books like The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (which funny enough, was the last book I read before this one).

I reside in Missouri, as does the author, and her writing style felt familiar with a mid-west charm, even though it is set in California.

I’m not usually a fan of stories that have a fairy-tale feel, but this was different enough to keep me speeding through the chapters.

There were a few attributes I was not completely in awe with. The first was that there were multiple characters introduced who all have the ability to travel - which I felt was a little forced or highly coincidental (all three characters that can do something remarkable that just so happen to be in the same town where Reni just happened to be visiting.)

I was also a little disappointed as to how fast the story ended. A huge cliffhanger with so many unanswered questions. So I’m ready to jump into the next book in the series.

I would highly recommend this book and look forward to Sioux Trett”s next book.

I enjoy time travel books and have read several…but so far, this is one of my favorites. I was literally hooked from the first chapter - and am looking forward to reading the rest of the series.

I really enjoy the narrator, she read with such passion and really brought the characters to life.

If you like time travel stories, this is definitely want to read.
