This concept is really cool! I think it should have been a series tho. The pacing was a little off and I didn’t quite believe the romance fully. I think it was because the stakes were not high until the very end so then it was believable to have all of these big feelings come through.

Although this took me a ridiculously long time to finish, it was decent, and I enjoyed a good bit of it. But it definitely felt slow, and seemed to drag on a bit...

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the eARC. All opinions are my own.

This was so fun to read!! I love the MC and ML, and I adore this time travel story that actually makes sense!!!

I am sad to say that I did not end up finishing this book. I wanted to like it so bad but I unfortunately just didn't jive with it.

Things I like:
- I LOVE the concept of a book about time travel.
- I think the idea of time traveling to undo other time travelers' damages is a very smart way to use the time travel trope.
-the cover is GORGEOUS

Things that made me DNF:
- some of the writing was a little too cringey/corny for my taste. This might be right up someone's alley! but unfortunately not mine.
- I made it to about 30% through the book, and at that point I was so confused about what the main plot line was supposed to be as it felt like 3-4 different plots were taking place at the same time. I don't mind this in other books, but something about the execution here felt a little muddy.

I thank the author and publisher for giving me the opportunity to read this ARC in exchange for my honest review. Although this book wasn't my cup of tea, that doesn't mean it might not be yours!

DNF'd at 52% 😭💀

I'm so very sad that I didn't like this one. I thought about just riding it out but I just really wasn't liking the FMC and it was hard to tell where the story was going. I'm not one to really DNF so I'm sorry. I honestly went in with such high hopes. Thank you to the publisher for the ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

I'm a huge sucker for YA especially when it includes fantasy, Asian rep, and romance. This book sounded like it had all of that, and I'm not one to shy away from a little bit of a YA corny romance, but it was a little too cringey for even my tolerance.

What I liked:
- The premise. This was the most promising part of the entire book, the idea of people training to become time travelers under a corporate company and those with magic in them, I loved that.
- The magic system. This was the coolest part and I thought it was really unique, like how the time traveling works and all the little things that could have gone wrong. This was interesting and I liked how it was often described.
- Giving this 2 stars only because there were parts I still enjoyed like the actual time traveling part and the mystery aspect.

What I didn't like:
- Overuse of Koreaboo bait words (right off the bat too), i.e. Honey Butter Chips, Yakult, Buldak fire ramen... it kept going though. This was way too much and it was very cringe to me, yeah I get it, she's in Korea. No need to pander to what the average Koreaboo would get excited about.
- BTS mentioned. That almost made me crash out with anger.
- Mina. She was by far the part that made this book so unbearable for me. She was mean, unlikeable, boring with no personality outside of being a cliche, snarky b word. It was really trying to give rivals to lovers but it wasn't fun at all because she was so lame about it.
- The romance, not much to say about this 52% in, but i felt nothing for the two characters.
- Not being able to really tell where the plot was halfway in. Like I wasn't understanding what they were doing to get her sister back.

I'm not one to DNF books, so I'm sorry I wasn't able to get through this one. I'm sure there will be plenty of people who like this story it just really wasn't for me.

Thank you to netgalley for this arc for an honest review.

This book is an amazing definition of great concept, poor execution. I knew I would not enjoy this book from the very first chapter, reading it felt like a poorly written first draft of an elementary school kids attempt at creative writing — something very similar to what 8 year old me would write for shock value and magical realism. The writing is in first person, and I couldn’t help but feel like I was reading a Kpop fanfic on Wattpad, a poorly written one in fact. The world building… it’s clunky, disorganised, rushed? And something tells me even the main character fails to grasp an understanding of the world she is in. I strongly disliked the whole flow of this book, it felt like random events were happening and we have such little understanding of anything to the point I really did not care for any of the events the mc encountered, and to make it worse this book is only 200 and something pages. Now, when writing a plot that involves magical realisms and fantasy themes, I do expect the book length to be at least 300-400 pages, otherwise the book and the plot feels rushed, and there would be very little development. But, in a way I am glad that I only had to read 200 pages of this book, because it was extremely hard to care for the plot when everything was quite boring to me.

Such a cute story. Loved the writing style and the time travel parts. Quick read that will suck you in right away.

Mina, a descendant of a Japanese dragon god. Dragon Descendants, particularly from Japan and Korea, are given the task to help sustain the timeline and prevent holes. Mina travels around from the US to South Korea to Japan to go on missions to fix the timeline. On her first day back to South Korea she finds a letter on her pillow from her sister. Only, she doesn’t remember having a sister. This follows Mina as she decides to work herself up the ladder to find out what happened to her sister that not even her parents remember. That is until she meets Yejun, a fellow time agent who has gone rouge due to the corruption within the time organization. Yejun and Mina strike up a deal where he tutors her in calculus so she is able to maintain good grades in school, and she will help him get back to timeline Alpha, where she gets her sister back.
*While reading*
They only start working together after the 30% mark. I’m not sure how I feel about that. The concept is cool and the writing was nice, but it felt like it was missing something.
It feels like there isn’t a rising action. Things are happening and the stakes are high, but everything is moving slowly and chopping along.
*After reading*
This book was cute. It got better once the action actually started. The resolution felt convenient, but it wasn’t bad. I also liked how everything came full circle with Mina and the clues “her sister” left behind for her. The twist of it actually being herself the entire time was crazy. The only thing I don’t understand is how the upper bosses couldn’t tell what gildong was doing to the timeline. I did enjoy Yejun and Mina’s relationship. Their time together was probably my favorite parts of the book as a whole.

This was such a fun read! The romance was sweet and a true slow burn. The familial relationships were also poignant. One of the best YA book dads in a long time! The time travel threads all tied together in a cogent way that so many time travel stories botch. I read this in 24 hours and miss it already.

I'll Find You Where the Timeline Ends by Kylie Lee Baker is the kind of book that completely draws you in. I felt like I was living the story. The emotions and the atmosphere seemed so real and engaging.

My favorite part was that the story just kept going in directions I did not see coming. Every time I thought I knew what was happening, something shifted, and it gave the whole thing such vitality to it. The characters and their decisions stuck with me.

I'd strongly recommend this one to anyone seeking a story that stays with you.

ੈ✩‧₊˚ three stars ·˚ ༘₊· ➳

I'll be honest, getting into this book was a bit of a rough start for me, but as I continued reading, I found myself honestly loving it. There were some parts that were a bit brutal, which is something I wouldn't expect from seeing the cover and title of this book so I can see why some readers dropped it. I did, however, really like the characters of Hyebin and Yejin. The other characters I didn't really care for but why did I low key simp for the villian. Moving on, the romantic bits of Mina and Yejin were fluffly and cute though I found myself wanting more from them. The ending also wrapped things up a bit too fast and random for me, but I'm a sucker for a happy lovey ending, so it's fine. ✩

Thank you to NetGalley, Kylie Lee Baker, and the publisher for providing this eARC in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed this book. I was intrigued by the time travel premise and it was genuinely fascinating and so interesting to see how the different timelines played out. But honestly, the best part was the relationship between Mina and Yejun. Their connection was so sweet, and Yejun being so head over heels for Mina just melted my heart!
If you love a good story with clever twists and heartwarming romance, definitely pick this one up!


Thank you to NetGalley and Macmillan Children's Publishing Group | Feiwel & Friends for the ARC in an exchange for an honest review.

I thought this was such a fun and lighthearted read. I think this book was a nice balance between mythology and romance and and also almost science fiction light. This book gave me both loki vibes but also a fun mytholoogy focused story. I really liked the main character and though the romance was cute. It was a very quick read and i would love to read more books in this world. I also liked the love triangle in this. Def a fun lighthearted romance!

Thank you so much NetGalley & Macmillan Children’s Publishing group for this ARC of ‘I’ll Find You When The Timeline Ends’
I throughly enjoyed it. Though the first 30% of the book is incredibly slow, it picks up and doesn’t skip a beat after that. The time traveling rules and timeline explanations are a bit muddy. Maybe instead of jumping right in, I’d prefer a prologue of Mina’s mom / ancestors showing us how the rules work, that way we can focus more on Mina’s missions without the constant break in the story (in the beginning) to explain the rules.
The sister bond reminded me of a quote “People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel" I felt that YeJin and Mina’s love was so cute. And I loved how it wasn’t only a romance, but also a story about self identity & coming of age.
It reminded me a lot of a kdrama. (I would totally watch it) thought the beginning was super slow, the pay off was so rewarding and worth it.
I am usually very good at predicting the plot twists but did not see them coming at all. I am so grateful I got the opportunity to read this.
As a Chinese, Korean, and White girl, I resonated so well with Mina as a character. The 3 names really made me feel and understand how she feels completely. And splitting it in a “time line camouflage” made sense. It has a lot of representation for those with multicultural backgrounds and how challenging it can be to fit in to all of them.

What a mind-bending time romp! Yang Mina, descended from dragons, uses her time magic to protect the timeline from rogue agents interfering for their own nefarious purposes. But what if all isn’t as it seems, and the very people Mina believes are guarding the timeline have their own twisted motives? And what happened to Mina’s sister, another time-wielding descendant? Mina must decide whether to trust another descendant, evade detection and capture, and avoid creating any world-ending paradoxes as she races to find her sister.

Beautifully written, fast-paced and suspensful. A love letter to all we have, all we have lost, and all we might do to keep what we could lose.

Cute and well thought out. Everything pulled together in a way that made sense and I really enjoyed watching the relationship come together. The leads are likeable and I even appreciated the twists. Fun concept and all around cute, at times emotional, book.

I'll Find You Where the Timeline Ends is a story about Yang Mina, a descendant of Ryūjin, the Japanese dragon god. She is part of a select group that work to control the time magic that was brought to earth long ago.

Just 124 points shy of a promotion that will change her entire future, securing her an ideal position where she can be herself, and more importantly, access to information.
Mina will do anything to find out more about her sister who has been scorched from the timeline like she never existed. Little echoes, glimmers, and a note on a scrap of paper tell her otherwise, even if no one can remember her.
Mina must travel through timelines, making slight adjustments to alter the course of the future in the organization's preferred direction. She is working quick and hard completing missions and earning points, Mina cannot afford any distractions to slow her down.
That's when she meets rogue agent Yejun, the biggest distraction of all.
He will make her question everything she has been trained, but can she trust him? Is he being sent to her as a test?



"None of them realized, at first, what kind of price they would have to pay for playing with time. In the beginning, it must have been fun-to bend time to your will, so you never had to suffer any consequences, or regrets, or nostalgia. But the descendants realized slowly, and then all at once, that the timeline was very easy to break and very difficult to put back together."

"Because right now, I feel hopeful- It's not every day that I get to feel this way."

"Hope was a shield against uncertainty, and there was so little uncertainty in the life of travelers. Descendants didn't have hope, we had timeline adjustments."

"But in that moment, as I watched the flock of birds grow smaller on the blue horizon, the sun warming my face, I felt it too-that warm ember of forbidden hope deep inside me, a secret that existed only in this moment."

"It was easy to be an optimist when the sun was out."

"I love you always, in every timeline."

Oh where to start, where to start...This book is EVERYTHING, it will pull at your heartstrings in the best way and entrap you. I haven't cried and felt so much from a story in such a long time 'til I'll Find You Where the Timeline Ends. It is a Fantasy book, but it doesn't have confusing world building, and the magical aspects are easy to follow. I love how it showcases how all things are connected and that the little things can lead to big changes. The characters are so beautifully written, I loved how much the author makes you care for them and builds their relationships, futures, and pasts all at the same time.


Thank you SO MUCH to NetGalley and Feiwel & Friends for this ARC.

This book had a fascinating premise. I've honestly never read anything like it and I really enjoyed it. I liked the lore, the character relationships, and the whole butterfly concept. I also enjoyed the mystery element and was kept guessing most of the time. The relationship between Mina and Yejun was sweet and fun. It felt like an adorable Kdrama. Some parts were a little drawn out and repetitive for my taste (too much cheesecake), and I was a little disappointed in the ending since I'd spent the whole book hoping for a specific outcome. But overall, I would read more from this universe and I would recommend it to other readers.

This was such a stunning story. I was intrigued with its premise from the beginning and it had me guessing until the very end. Kylie did such a great job with all of the plot twists and making you stay on your toes! Mina and Yejun have quickly become some of my favorite characters. If you are looking for a fun and interesting look at how time could be shaped, this is it!

I'll Find You Where the Timeline Ends is a time travel contemporary YA romance, which is a new genre of writing for one of my favorite authors. I love that her writing is still full of humor, even when a situation just seems to get more and more twisted. I thought I knew what would happen in the end, but nope! Not quite! The story IS much lighter than her previous books, with less gore and violence (though there is still some here), and more focused on the cute romance between the main characters, both of which I do like. I love their growing relationship, despite both of them needing to hide some facts from each at first, and I love all the Asian references - from food, culture and nuances involved.

If you're expecting a heavy romance novel with spice, this is not it. However, I wasn't expecting that either, so it was perfectly fine for me. Kylie always writes with deep relationships between characters in mind, as well as moving the plot along in a way that is engaging and makes sense, and she does just that without losing my attention. Many stories with time traveling and timelines can get confusing, but everything was really clear and made sense in this novel. She didn't leave any holes despite all the time traveling, and clearly had been thoughtful of each event that happened in each timeline.

Because it's a new genre of writing, parts of it could be more consistent and fleshed out. Some things seems to be repeated more than once about the magic system and Mina's past; it could have been purposeful, to point out certain details, but maybe it could have been rephrased a different way so that it doesn't feel like the exact same fact is repeated again. Without giving away spoilers, the power positions of some of the characters didn't seem consistent, as I expected one person to overpower another at some point, but it seems like those with lesser power were able to overcome a stronger opponent. Likewise someone with more power seemed to suddenly be concerned with how others with less power viewed them, when really, that person didn't care so much based on their actions and could have just obliterated them. Despite it being so cute, there were a few stronger curse words thrown in - not a lot at all, but it didn't vibe with the cuteness of the K-drama feel of the novel either. I guess it DID vibe with some of the more intense portions of the plot, so that might just be own personal opinion. However, as this book is not released until November, and I'm only reading an ARC of it, there could be some changes from now till then, and I'm excited to see the completed version come then. Currently, I would give this 4 stars, but definitely feel that it can be a 5 star read once some of those things are addressed.

Thank you NetGalley, for the eARC!
