The Ministry of Time by Kaliane BradleyMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
The Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley was billed as a time travel romance which put me off from reading it. I don't read much romance. However, a trusted, bookish friend told me I had to give it a try. In fact, she didn't believe me that it was being a called a romance. I took her word and started reading. Honestly, I also wondered why romance was a selling point for it. There is romance, but it is really about a lot more than that. It's historical fiction, mystery, and thriller. It reminded me of the TV show, Beforeigners, and the book, The Rise and Fall of D.O.D.O. That is high praise from me because I loved them both. I really appreciate that this is inspired by real people and real events. I like an Arctic exploration story. Graham Gore was a bit of a hottie with a good reputation, so I could see why he is a leading man type. As a former bureaucrat, I am also a sucker for government agencies. It had so much more going on that I even enjoyed the romantic parts.
If you like time travel, check this book out even if romance is not your thing.
