Thank you NetGalley for the ARC copy of this book💖
What a well written time-travel story!! The writing was extremely easy to follow and was very descriptive. Some parts I did feel like were dragged out a bit but overall the world building and story telling were well done.

Mina did start to annoy me a bit in the middle of the book but towards the end when things started being revealed it got better. Yejun was my favorite character so I wished we got a POV from him.

Overall it was a fun time and I’d recommend if you’re looking for a fast paced YA fantasy thats easy to follow!

Jihoon deserves the world <3

huge thank you to netgalley and the publisher for this ARC!

i loved this read and i was absolutely hooked from the start!

the time travel aspect of this story was very well written, especially the showing of butterfly effects from even the smallest changes. the echos though were a tad confusing at the beginning but it was fun to figure it out as i read on.

mina was also an amazing lead character!! i adored her and yejun’s banter throughout the book.

this is a book i’d definitely recommend for those who are looking for a cute YA read with some sci-fi / fantasy elements

I’ll Find You Where the Timeline Ends by Kylie Lee Baker is one of those books that completely pulls you in and doesn’t let go. It felt like I was living in the story - not just reading it. The emotions, the atmosphere, the way everything unfolded - it all felt so real and immersive.

What I loved most was how the story kept twisting in unexpected ways. Every time I thought I understood what was happening, something would shift, and it made the whole thing feel alive. It wasn’t just about surprise - it was about depth. The characters and the choices they made stuck with me.

I’d definitely recommend this one to anyone who wants a story that stays with you - not just for the plot, but for how deeply human it feels.

This book was so cute! Mina is a very likable character and her relationship with Yejun is equal parts sweet and funny. I found this concept for a book to be so unique, twisting together time travel, dragons, magic, and young love in a way I have yet to see anyone do before. Parts of this felt like playing a video game and doing side quests along with the main story line and I absolutely loved that. I think readers will connect with Mina easily and enjoy the way her moral compass seems to not always point true north.

Thank you Netgalley and Feiwel & Friends for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!

Kylie Lee Baker’s “I’ll Find You Where the Timeline Ends” is a charming, twisty, and emotionally resonant YA sci-fi romance that mixes time travel with mythology, and just the right amount of high school drama. The book has both Korean and Japanese pop culture sprinkled in, and two unforgettable characters caught in a web of time and truth; also, there are undercover missions throughout. There is a lot to love about this book!

The story centers around Yang Mina, a time-traveling teen who’s been training her whole life to serve in the Descendants, a shadowy organization devoted to preserving the timeline. But things get complicated fast: when Mina finds a mysterious note from a sister no one remembers, she begins to question everything—her mission, her loyalty, and even her own memories. Enter Yejun, a rogue Descendant who believes Mina may be the key to exposing the organization's secrets. The chemistry between them is immediate, and their slow-burn relationship—filled with cute banter and growing trust—is a highlight of the book.

One of the most impressive aspects of the story is its handling of time travel. It’s easy to get lost in paradoxes, but Baker skillfully breaks down the mechanics without over-explaining. The butterfly effect is used to great effect, showing how even the smallest changes echo across time. Though the first few chapters can feel a bit slow or disorienting with seemingly random appearances of Mina’s "future echoes," everything eventually loops back in a satisfying, full-circle way that help everything come together and make sense in a satisfying way.

Mina herself is a standout protagonist: sharp, emotional, a little morally gray, and undeniably real. She’s not your average “chosen one,” and her inner conflict—between loyalty to the Descendants and her quest for the truth—grounds the story’s more fantastical elements. Supporting characters, especially Yejun and Jihoon, round out the cast with charm and complexity, and the romantic arc avoids the typical triangle traps by giving each relationship a meaningful resolution.

The book shines brightest in its final third, which is unputdownable. The pacing picks up, twists land with emotional weight, and the stakes feel deeply personal. I absolutely loved how the storytelling felt both clever and heartfelt.

If there’s one thing left to wish for, it’s more. More timeline-hopping, more of Yejun’s perspective, and maybe a sequel? Because once you close the book, it’s hard to let go of these characters and the world Baker has created.

Overall, “I’ll Find You Where the Timeline Ends: is a gorgeously layered YA book full of time travel twists, emotional depth, and characters you won’t soon forget. A must-read for fans of sci-fi with a soul.

This is a very sweet YA story. It has dragons, time travel, all kinds of yummy food and desserts...but most of all love and loyalty.

The FMC, Mina, has been goal-oriented her whole life. She aspires to advance her career, but then starts to doubt the integrity of the descendants. This adds a layer of complexity (and might challenge younger readers) that people of all ages and ethnicities can relate to. Along the way, Mina starts to question almost everything. She's an imperfect character, and that's what makes her so likable.

Lots of sweet romantic moments, along with funny ones. The story kept me guessing about certain aspects, especially her mentor Hyebin. I'm not sure if this is a standalone book, but the whole premise is fascinating. I really enjoyed the ending of the book - it felt fitting.

This is the second book I’ve read by K.L. B., and I absolutely loved The Scarlet Alchemist duology! The premise of this story intrigued me, and after the first few chapters, I was definitely hooked.

Time-travel stories can be tricky to write—it’s easy to confuse readers or lose track of the main plot—but I think the author did a great job with the world-building and crafted a compelling, engaging narrative without any confusion. The plot twists were well executed and didn’t feel forced or over-the-top.

That said, the first few chapters felt a bit dragged out, and I didn’t really connect with Mina at the beginning. Once Yejun appeared, the story picked up and became much more interesting. Mina wasn’t the most captivating protagonist for me—she seemed to rely heavily on the supporting characters to move the plot along (though maybe I’m comparing her to Zilan a little too much, lol). I also wasn’t a fan of the miscommunication trope that popped up between her and Yejun mid-story. I know it’s a YA novel, and I'm not the main target audience (since I'm in my mid 20s), so I think I'm just being harsh 😅

Some chapters also felt a bit too long and could have been split for better pacing.

Overall, this was a cute YA novel with strong K-drama vibes, and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a light, romantic, time-bending adventure!

fully judge me for this and i simply do not care this read was adorable and ill die on that hill!

Thank you NetGalley for this arc!

First, I want to thank NetGalley and Macmillan Children's Publishing Group for this eArc! This is my own honest opinion.

I have to start by mentioning that I fell in love with this cover. I have been into reading more books from authors from different cultures since they expose us to their culture which I enjoy. Time Travel and Romance? My favorite! I loved the main characters FMC (Mina) and MMC (Yejun). The FMC was so relatable especially since this is a YA book, so many teenagers will probably relate to her. The friendship to lovers development was so cute and also clean! Usually fantasy books are a little harder for me to get through due to the worldbuilding, so I really liked the fact this was a quick light read. I would definitely recommend this to young readers.

Let me start by saying, this book had me hooked from the first page. I got approved for this ARC, downloaded it and meant to just look at the amount of hours my kindle said it would take to read so I could plot out when to read it. But then I read that first paragraph and just kept reading. All my other arcs just got pushed aside as I devoured this novel. Every moment of it was a journey that I loved.

Time travel is my jam and butter. I live for it, and the way this author writes this, paying extra close attention to the details is simply superb. She explains the unlinearness of timeliness, and the butterfly effect so well, as well as how time travel in her world works and why. I liked seeing how everything came together on the end. I kept questions why some echoes would do things, thinking, really what's the point of that, but when it finally came together, everything just fit perfectly in place.

I loved the mfc, who was so flawed from the beginning that I couldn't help but both root for as well as connect with her nervousness. And that little voice in the back of her head thst kept telling her she wasn't good enough. I think we all feel that way sometimes. And seeing her feel that way, to only grow into herself was just amazing to watch, especially at the end, I won't give spoilers, but that line about how Noone saved her, she saved herself, that was empowering.

The romance was so cute. Very mild and appropriate for a younger auidence.

This is my first book from this author but I liked it so much I plan on looking up her other books so I can read them. It was well written and had me invested from page 1.


Thank you NetGalley and Macmillan Children's Publishing Group for providing this eARC.

One of the best books I’ve read with both the time-traveling theme and the cozy, romance fantasy genre. So well written and action packed at the same time, definitely a page turner and absolutely an author to watch. It is usually difficult for me to find books I like in the YA/romantic fantasy genre but after reading the author’s acknowledgment and realizing that this is her most lighthearted novel yet and she typically writes traumatic stories, it makes sense why I enjoyed this one - it has the same emotional depth as a heavier story.

Mina is a time-traveling descendant of dragons, who goes on small missions to fix aberrations in the timeline, usually caused by rogue descendants. When rogue descendants are caught, they are neutralized or erased from the timelines completely. More senior descendants can travel farther in time and evoke more far-reaching and potentially world-ending changes, which is why descendants follow a protocol to fix and stabilize the timeline, even if their missions may result in the harm or deaths of humans. When Mina finds a significant part of her life missing, it leads her on a quest to uncover if the world is on a true timeline and if the descendants’ mantra to follow their assignments is justified, no matter the cost.

I really enjoyed the cultural elements of this story, as it explains that most descendants need to be polyglot in order to be able to fix timelines in other places. Mina herself is a half-white, half Japanese person living in Korea, and there’s a lot of Japan/Korean influence in the story, including drawing in important historical events like the sinking of the Sewol ferry, an incident that caused collective trauma in Korea.

The lore, world-building, and characterizations are A+. The time-traveling mechanics and society of descendants who can cause worldwide impact is reminiscent of the MCU version of Loki, but it is much better written and better represented here. The cover for this is also gorgeous.

Special thanks to Macmillan Children's Publishing Group, Feiwel & Friends, and NetGalley for providing an eARC in exchange for an honest, independent review.

Such a beautiful story! It grabbed my attention immediately, and I loved the characters. I will definitely be reading more from this author in the future.

My opinion: cute and funny love story with time travel! The time travel parts made my mind twist itself into a knot, but it was really cool to see how everything played out, I especially loved the writing about the butterfly effect. Unlike in most books I’ve read, I was really not expecting the plot twists. The story started out a little slow but sped up really quickly (I was physically unable to put it down it the last two-thirds). There were a lot of pop culture references (and it was mentioned that the year was 2025), I did enjoy hearing about Korean and Japanese brands though. Something I didn’t like was how long the chapters were, it took me 20-30 minutes to read each one!

Meet Me Where the Timeline Ends by Kylie Lee Baker

The book follows Yang Mina, born with the rare ability to travel through time. She’s spent her life training to join the Descendants—a secret organization tasked with protecting the timeline. But when she moves to Seoul, everything changes. She finds a mysterious note from her sister… a sister no one else remembers, as if she’s been erased completely. The only ones capable of that kind of erasure? The Descendants themselves.

Mina’s mission changes: infiltrate the agency and find her sister. To make things messier, a strikingly handsome rogue agent believes Mina is the key to exposing the Descendants’ corruption. Now, she’s stuck between loyalty and truth, trying to figure out how far she’ll go for answers.

I really loved all the timeline scenarios and how even the smallest ripple could have big consequences. The explanations were so fun and easy to follow, even for a time-travel nerd like me.

This was a very cute YA read and one I’ll easily recommend to others! Tons of fantasy elements, cute banter, and a really interesting magic system woven with mythology.

There was a lot of great foreshadowing, and I loved seeing the future echoes of Mina appear and make sense later on. I do wish we got even more timeline-jumping and echo moments—it felt like there was room to push the drama and emotional impact further. Also: I’m craving a Yejun POV! I need to know what was happening behind the scenes!

I absolutely loved this book! It hooked me from the first chapter! The enjoyed the character development and how Mina was able to find strength within herself. I will definitely read other books by this author!

Mina is a Descendant. Her ancestor gave time magic to her family and now Mina has the ability to travel through time correcting the timeline and making sure Rogue Descendants don’t end the world. When the cute boy in her class Yejun approaches her to restore the timeline she sees the chance to perhaps facilitate the return of her sister—whom only she can remember. Along the way they discover there’s more to the timeline and the Descendants than they could have ever imagined.

As cool as I found the premise of the book to be, unfortunately Mina came off as a lackluster protagonist for the majority of it. It seemed like Hyebin and Yejun did all the work while she accompanied them. She didn’t really step up until about 80% of the book was through.

I think the time travel aspect was well done—despite the confusing loops and paradoxes that Mina and Yejun created. The romance was really cute as well (in fact it seemed to be the main plot of the book), especially since Yejun was the one who fell first (unusual in most YA books).

The ending was a bit underwhelming as well. I had hoped that Mina would at least get to meet with her sister at least once more.

Overall an okay read but probably not something I would reccomend to others.

Fun read! Beautifully written descriptions of places and characters. A story of love, loss and bravery. Thank you Macmillan for this ARC.

This was such a fun and fantastical read! The time traveling at the beginning may feel confusing and pointless (Mina meets several echoes throughout the first half of the book for seemingly no rhyme or reason). However, as you read it all neatly seals the loops into a complete circle that is so satisfying!

Mina feels like such a refreshing glass of water in a seemingly endless sea of same-faced YA main characters. She’s a bit of liar, has a weepy heart, all while being very determined in everything she does. Her relationships with both Yejun and Jihoon both end so well it never felt like I was being robbed of the opportunity of her getting with the wrong guy.

Thank you NetGalley and Macmillan Children's Publishing Group for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was an absolutely adorable read! I’ll Find You Where the Timeline Ends reminded me of a lighthearted, cute, YA version of the Loki TV show. Mina, our main character, is on an assignment undercover at a high school while also working side missions and trying to pass calculus. She starts questioning the Descendants' mission to “protect the timeline” and meets Yejun, a rogue Descendant agent, and our adventure begins!

Mina and Yejun are extremely likable main characters and the way their friendship/relationship develops was adorable to watch unfold. The time travel aspect was not confusing (as many time travel stories can be) and the whole story came together nicely in the end.
