5/9/2023 0 Comments Crow Country by Kate ConstableIt got to a point where I had to decide whether I kept reading or tried something else and I decided to go with trying something else and I had Crown Country by Kate Constable, this other time travel book sitting on my (virtual) shelf. And you know when you are reading a book and you keep willing it to be good because you truly think there is potential there? It didn’t work (does it ever?). The problem is, 200 pages (out of 412) into the book and nothing had really happened and I was just bored out of my mind. And the premise is pretty cool: young boy learns that he can travel in time (the idea is that many people can, in fact, time travel by slipping though time in the stillness of those near-sleeping moments) and then goes back to Victorian London where he will take part in the theft of the world’s most famous diamond, the Star of Banhavgarh. I had to buy it there and then and the book had been sitting on my TBR for a while until I decided it was about time to read it. I learnt about the book at Foyles (The Best Indie Bookstore in the UK), which is one of the few bricks and mortar bookstores to sell the book because they love it so much. So today I was supposed to be reviewing The Stillness of Time Travel a self-published novel by A.J.
