In this book Xanthe is growing into her role of time traveller, also known as a spinner. She proves that she truly has a gift and must use her gift responsibly. This time it is a copper chocolate pot that ‘sings’ to her. It tells her that Samuel, who we met in the first book, is in trouble and needs her help. Xanthe travels again back to the seventeenth century. She meets Benedict Fairfax, who proves a dangerous enemy. He is also a spinner, but lacks Xanthe’s expertise and is ruthless and power-driven. I anxiously await the third book.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This is an interesting and entertaining historical novel. The plot and characters were both interesting and entertaining. The storyline was easy to follow and I found myself finishing this novel in 2 days. I recommend both this series and author.
