I just had a bunch of questions that I thought would hopefully be answered soon. I had absolutely no idea what was going on. The writing, the world, the characters, the pace, the plot – all of it twisted together to make a big confusing mess of a book.įrom the very first page, I was confused. But there wasn’t really a single thing about this book that made me want to like it. I love time travel novels – like I love them a ridiculous amount, and I was so excited to dive into this world. The best way I am describing my feelings towards this book is that it had the greatest concept, but was just poorly executed. Etta undertakes this journey with Nicholas, a boy who hates his family and decides to help Etta – or so it seems as Nicholas has struck a deal that may see him betray everything Nicholas and Etta are working towards. They believe Etta is the key to finding the hidden object, and so they force her to travel through time to solve the clues left by her mother. Unknown to her is that she is part of one of four families that have the ability to time travel, and it is her mother who has stolen and hidden something that the other time traveller families are after. Etta, is a violin prodigy, and on the night of one of her shows, she is thrust through a passage that ends up taking her to the year 1776. If you haven’t heard what Passenger is about, it’s basically a treasure hunt through time, as our main characters have the ability to time travel. This book was a massive disappointment, and this review will be very different from what the majority of people seem to feel about this book.

Sadly, I did not like this book as much as I thought I would, or as much as everyone else seemed to. A bunch of anticipation, and a bunch of hype.
