Response:
I really enjoyed reading this book. It was very well thought through and once I finished it, I thought back to the previous events in the story and it all connected. I was glad that I had already read "A Wrinkle in Time" because otherwise some things might of not made sense. It truly was an amazing book that I recommend to anybody that enjoys reading about time travel.
