First of all, she plays the violin, which gives her a distinct quality that is just so fantastic.

The character that seems to be the most interesting in Passenger is Etta. A great deal of research must have gone into this book, and as a reader, I am appreciative. It was really easy to visualize the incredible transformation of the chrononauts and Bracken paints a wonderful image for the reader in her descriptions of their attire. Also, the characters paid close attention to their outfits, making sure that they dressed appropriate for the time period. All of the little details seem historically accurate. I am honestly not a huge historical fiction fan, but Passenger worked for me. The constant change in setting was refreshing and really made the book a fast paced adventure. The characters not only travel to a different year, but they also travel to different locations around the world. ❃īook Review: Passenger by Alexandra Bracken ❀ An Amazing Time Travel Bookīracken has created an amazing time travel book with Passenger! I loved the way the concept of time travel is incorporated in this particular book. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. ❃ I received this book for free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. But as they get closer to the truth of their search, and the deadly game the Ironwoods are playing, treacherous forces threaten to separate Etta not only from Nicholas but from her path home. Together, Etta and Nicholas embark on a perilous journey across centuries and continents, piecing together clues left behind by the traveler who will do anything to keep the object out of the Ironwoods’ grasp.

In order to protect her, he must ensure she brings it back to them-whether she wants to or not. Now the Ironwoods are searching for a stolen object of untold value, one they believe only Etta, Nicholas’ passenger, can find. But with the arrival of an unusual passenger on his ship comes the insistent pull of the past that he can’t escape and the family that won’t let him go so easily.

Nicholas Carter is content with his life at sea, free from the Ironwoods-a powerful family in the colonies-and the servitude he’s known at their hands. And she’s inherited a legacy she knows nothing about from a family whose existence she’s never heard of. Thrust into an unfamiliar world by a stranger with a dangerous agenda, Etta is certain of only one thing: she has traveled not just miles but years from home. In one devastating night, violin prodigy Etta Spencer loses everything she knows and loves.
