Thank you NetGalley for an ARC of this book.
Dragon descendants are gifted with time traveling abilities. Mina is an agent in training while also trying to pass calculus.

3.5 stars (rounded up)! This book has a strong sense of character through the FMC. She was realistic, had an interesting POV, wasn't perfect, but still very interesting. This book reminded me a lot of Water Moon and The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea as they have a boy-meets-girl plot and then those two characters working together to set something magical right. I enjoyed this books take on dragons as it was quite interesting. I also thought Yejun and Mina had cute banter and an interesting dynamic as love interests.

This book definitely had a cozy feel with some real depth work in regards to the timelines and her relationship with her sister who she finds out disappeared when on a certain timeline (not going to reveal more, you will have to read). I also got invested in Mina's mentorship relationship with her boss, Hyebin. I got frustrated with her parents at times. I also felt that at times, there was too much reliance on "cheesecake." However, I felt like the ending was really strong and made the journey worth reading the whole book through to the end.

I love books that have something to do with time travel and the idea of being "time travel agents" essentially was really fun. Definitely feels somewhat like reading a book that feels like watching a K-drama (but in a good way!)

I like to thank NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me a chance at a book that is made for k-drama fans.

Well.

I expected more. Yes, the kdrama vibes are there for sure. You got the teen going to school, crushing on her assignment, falling in love with a rogue time hopper, and going through some family issues.

The story itself was fun. I loved the time travel aspect and the 'echoes' that would appear which made me excited to get to the point in the story that their point made sense to when I first see the 'echoes'. I like that it all flowed well - a lot of people use the Back to the Future aspect where you can't see your future self or it can open up a paradox. The author uses her own time travel logic while still making sense.

The reason I rate it down two stars is ... nothing really happens. The villains aren't really 'there', and the agency and the time travelers themselves seem more like means to purpose the story than actual plot elements. The only other person besides the boss we really come in contact with is a female who sits behind the desk. What is this agency? Where did they come from? Why did they form? We never really get those answers, which makes me feel like the books' focus is this somewhat tightfisted romance (that attempts for me to believe they don't like one another).

This book is more or less a 2 star read but I gave it three for the author doing something else with her time travel logic.

This was my second Kylie Lee Baker book an it was a delightful change from Bat Eater. I was not expecting a young adult novel, but the story was so fast paced and thrilling, it was so easy to look past that element.

For me, it really felt as though Baker through red herrings, in to the story, where it kept me, guessing, and surprised, especially in the latter half of the book. I definitely would recommend this to anyone who loves magical realism, and time travel.

Listen, you had me at time travel. I loved the TVA vibes as the descendants protected the timeline!

The story follows our protagonist Mina as she navigates becoming a senior agent by earning points as she accomplishes tasks assigned to her. The Decendants are descended from Dragons, who had time magic and they protect the timeline and make sure things go smoothly.

What a fun concept, carrying time in a box! Mina is starting to have some reservations about the organization she works for when she meets a rogue good looking time traveler… she barters cakculus tutoring in exchange for helping him save the world and adventure ensues… but at it’s the core this story is about family, love, and believing in yourself.

“The people trusted to wield time had so very little of their own”

I truly loved this story. Will absolutely be purchasing when it is released!

Thank you to NetGalley for allowing me to read this eARC. This is my honest review.

I received an ARC from NetGalley and would like to leave a review on this.

3.75/5 stars

I enjoyed the Korean/Japanese lore on dragons and time travel in this story. The concept was well thought out and rich with detail towards the middle. I stumbled a bit through the beginning trying to understand the nuances but it does built on itself throughout the story. It took me a bit longer to read this than I normally do (due to life) so that may have impacted my understanding of the plot. The characters are a bit multifaceted and I enjoyed that. I really employed the time loop moments. Those I found quite interesting. Overall, the book is well put together and an interesting read. I would definitely recommend it!

3.5⭐️ I really enjoyed this one overall. If I had read it as a teen, I would have absolutely devoured it. While it wasn’t exactly written for me now, it’s honestly the perfect book for pre-teen and teen girls. They’re going to love it—it fits the genre perfectly and hits the target audience spot on.

This was probably a first for me, but I couldn’t help imagining Studio Ghibli-style illustrations while reading, which made the experience even more magical and fun.

The story is set in Korea and follows a teenage girl who is a dragon descendant with the power to time travel. She feels a strange emptiness and soon realizes it’s because her sister has been erased from the timeline. Determined to find her, she teams up with an unlikely partner—someone both helpful and infuriating.

The author did a beautiful job with the writing, and I truly hope she continues creating stories for younger audiences—because she absolutely nailed this one.

3/5
Overall good romantasy that although felt like it was trying to take on too many things at once found a way to tie everything together in the end.
Although I only found this one decent and thought the ending was a little too abrupt, the characters and the main relationship of this book were pretty good and I could definitely see someone loving this.
Thank you Kylie Lee Baker and Macmillian's Children's Publishing for this eARC.

I really enjoyed this story, but sometimes the time traveling parts were a bit confusing. It was cool to see the author explain how certain things would lead to the outcome and the path it takes to get there, but the paradoxes would still happen wouldn't they? If someone tries to mess something up, then someone reverses it, isnt it possible the fixer could cause something else to happen? They would need to be invisible because what if the fixer stepped on a leaf and that led to something else happening. I think that is the issue with time traveling. It is hard to write and explain well. But I really enjoyed how the author used it in this book. Mina and Yejun were great main characters. Mina thinks she is living to find her sister, but really she is doing this all for herself and being her own supporter. There is some betrayal and dragons and romance in this book. Initially, her parents aggravated me, but in the end, they redeemed themselves. Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for allowing me to read this arc.

Plot spoilers below
Mina is a time traveler working under her mentor, Hyebin, to try to become a full time agent to get revenge for her parents. Her parents follow orders but never get promoted or anything. Mina then learns she has a sister named Hana who was eliminated and erased from everyone's existence. She sees this happen when Hyebin's boss, Hong Gildong, eliminates a girl in front of Mina. In order to find Hana, she meets Yejun who tries to help her. But we find out that Yejun almost betrays Mina, but then we also find out this plan has happened so many times before and every time Yejun falls in love with Mina and can't do what is needed to end the plan. Mina has one last exam before she can become a full agent and that is to start a war with North Korea by assassinating a man high up in the politics. They find out Gildong is lining his pockets by changing the timeline to work in his favor and had Hana killed. He almost kills Yejun too, but Otohime, a great dragon, saves them by turning the hour back. Hana is still gone, but at least Yejun and Mina can be together.

Yejun sacrificed himself in the real hour so Mina could be with her parents. Her parents also finally showed Mina love in the end and defied Hong Gildong and didnt blindly follow his orders. Their original echoes helped with the plan. But I was also confused why some things happened. It was a shock when we find out the note Mina thought was from Hana was actually from future Mina. It's nice Hyebin put portraits up for the people who had been erased so they wouldn't be forgotten.

I’ll Find You Where the Timeline Ends is an absolutely adorable YA Romantasy with dragon-lore & time-travel.

The book follows Yang Mina, a descendent of a Japanese Dragon God, born with an ability to time-travel. Mina is one of many Japanese & Korean Dragon God descendants whose purpose is to maintain the timeline—essentially fixing points in time to protect the world’s existence. These can be huge tasks like preventing an assassination, or seemingly small duties like ensuring the popularity of a candy, but they all matter to the life of the timeline.

As a trainee of the secret organization of Descendants, Mina begins to unravel corruption within them, sparking from a realization that she once had a sister she remembers nothing about. She knows her sister Hana once existed, but has she been erased completely?

Mina has an unexpected encounter with Yejun, a (shall I say handsome & charming?) ”rogue” descendent who has plans to renew the integrity of the timeline and end corruption. As Mina works with Yejun to restore the timeline and her sister’s existence, she unravels even more truths that she never saw coming. (And maybe she can’t help but continue to fall for Yejun along the way?)

I feel like this book is out of my typical genre range, but I absolutely LOVED IT. It’s so satisfying when you read a bit out of your comfort zone and find yourself pleasantly surprised with the outcome. 🌞 Once I began reading this book, I flew threw it in a matter of days (which is fast for me!), & was constantly excited for what came next.

This is one of those books where you say, “just one more chapter,” and 7 chapters later it’s way past the time you told yourself you’d be asleep by…🧍🏽‍♀️

I found the fantastical dragon aspect so fun & interesting. The world Baker has created is so vivid & intricate, living so far outside of our norms yet still so near & dear. It is such an otherworldly but classic heart-fluttering story, with young & wholesome romance that will make you melt.

While I find it an overall heartfelt book, it’s also suspenseful, surprising, emotional, adventurous, & will certainly keep you on your toes 💫

I absolutely recommend to all the YA Romantasy lovers out there! This book is one to keep on your radar this year, to be released in November (a perfect cozy fall romance🤍☕️).

Huge thank you to Macmillan Children’s Publishing Group & NetGalley for the ARC!!! 🤍🌞

First of all, I would like to thank NetGally for giving me a free digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review of this book 🫶

(My opinions on this book are my own.)

5/5 ⭐

Okay, let's get on with this ✨ review ✨


・゜゜・ ・゜゜・．
Review time:
For starters, I would like to say that I didn't know anything about this book other than the title and the cover of this book before I started reading. Okay, now that we've got that out of the way, I would like to start off with the plot of the book.

Plot: A teenage girl is a part of a group called descendants. This basically means that she is part dragon (yes, actual dragons), and all of the descendants of dragons have the ability to time travel. This ability allows them to go back in time in order to "fix" the timeline they live in. But are they really fixing the timeline? Or are the hier ups plotting something more?

Character time:

Mina: I really enjoyed getting to understand her character more! I like the way the author progressed her character as well. Also, the fact that she loves cheesecake is an extra bonus point from me. (Her character changed for the better!)

CHEESECAKE BRINGING MINA AND YEJUN CLOSER TOGETHER SINCE XX/XX/XX

Yejun: Oka, I love Yejun so so so much! I love how he buys Mina cheesecake, I love how he is understanding, and I love the way he loves Mina <3 Don't get me wrong, he's not perfect, but he is definitely really close to perfect, it makes my heart melt <3
I love him sooo sooo much (っ.❛ ᴗ ❛.)っ

Songs:
- Do I wanna Know by Hoizer "Maybe I'm too busy being yours to fall for someone new"
- Destiny by Chloe Ament "All I wanted was you for forever"
-Daisies by Chloe Ament (but instead of daisies, make it cheesecake)

Overall thoughts:
Okay, I loved the premise of this so much. The time travel had felt a little out of place at first until it happened, where it just clicked like a puzzle piece, and I finally understood why the time travel was there.

Age rating: 13-14+

Trigger warnings:
- Blood
- Death
- Gun violence
- Heartbreak
- Perfect bookboyfriend material mmc
- Greif


Okie, review time is all done!

(ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*.✧

With a fun and timey-wimey adventure, Kylie Lee Baker created a Young Adult novel that perfectly encapsulates the question - Who Watches the Watchmen?

OK…so there’s this whole underground network of time-travelers who are descended from Korean and Japanese dragon gods. When the book starts, Mina is still a trainee, but is close to becoming a full-fledged agent - traveling to the past to alter events to preserve the true timeline. Part of her goal is to finally gain access to the inner circle to see if there is more information about the sister she can’t remember, but is sure existed at one point.

All of that is the background for what sets up to be an enemies to lovers romance that weaves its way through the book and through time. A rogue agent -- Yejun -- shows up, throwing a wrench into her plans and ideas for her future. Along the way, perhaps Yejun is a better path to her long-lost sister than her own organization of Descendants.

I had a lot of fun with I’ll Find You Where the Timeline Ends and the time travel loops that Mina and Yejun find themselves in. It seemed as I read the book that it was a bit messy and the time loops led to loopholes, but in the end, I do think that Baker managed to tie everything up fairly neatly.

In all the time travel shenanigans that happen throughout the novel, it's clear that the descendants of these dragons have a TON of power. There’s a lot of “butterfly effect” happening with each of their trips to the past. So, to make sure that he and Mina can save the world, Yejun comes up with a multi-step plan, starting with the step of “Popularize candy corn in Korea.” Some of the small, minute things our characters do as very simple things to avalanche events to eventually stop a large-scale tragedy years later is almost hilarious in many ways. But, it shows just how much power these people have that they can dramatically alter past events and make people forget events and even people.

So when you have all the power in the world, who checks your power? The question is appropriate and timely for the society that we are increasingly seeing day to day, not only here in the United States, but in many other locations around the world.

As I worked my way through it, I definitely had tons of flashbacks to watching Marvel’s Loki, especially season 2, and the movie Your Name. If you love time travel and charming love stories, I recommend I’ll Find You Where the Timeline Ends. Baker did a great job and clearly had a lot of fun putting this fantasy young adult novel together.

Thank you to Feiwel & Friends for providing this book for review consideration via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

I'll Find You Where The Timeline Ends is a captivating and emotionally charged journey through time and across dimensions. This YA novel expertly blends sci-fi and romance, creating a narrative that is both intellectually stimulating and deeply heartfelt. The story introduces a compelling concept of timelines and parallel realities, which Baker navigates with skill and imagination. The central romance is a poignant anchor, exploring themes of destiny, connection, and the lengths one might go to for love. THe characters are well-developed, and their struggles feel authentic, making their adventures and dilemmas resonate deeply with the reader. Baker's writing is evocative, drawing you into the complexities of her world and the emotional landscape of her protagonists. This book is an excellent choice for readers who enjoy speculative fiction with a strong emotions core, especially those who appreciate time-travel narratives and romances with high stakes. It's a thought-provoking read that offers both excitement and a tender exploration of human connection.

Thank you NetGalley and Macmillian for the ARC.

I really enjoyed the story. I found the concept very interesting well executed. I enjoyed the writing style and the story. I really liked the characters and the romance was sweet and well done. The author did a great job of conveying emotion.

thanks netgalley and macmillan for the arc!! um me personally? i love the use of time travel in stories. time loops, groundhog days, actual separating timelines diverging and converging, whatever. i will eat that shit up, so plate me. i liked this a lot until the end. some might say, i liked it up till where the timeline ends. no i will not see myself out and this will contain spoilers

when i say this was like watching a fun kdrama, i really mean it - the good and the bad. setting up the fun lil world with the dragon descendants who can time travel and the agency that controls what assignments everyone takes, all the little details about accessing time travel, and the butterfly effect explanations, were all so great. the butterfly effect sections always tickled me. we needed all of that expanded upon!! the echoes and the time loops were all pretty well paced throughout the book and it all wrapped up nicely, but the big bad and the battle at the end?? rushed! over the top! classic kdrama! every problem was shoehorned into the one bad guy when i feel like mina and yejun brought up some valid points about the agency's control over the timeline throughout the story and it was all brushed away bc the bad guy "was just greedy"

SPOILERS!! i'm gonna be so annoying and talk about the pacing issues bc i really think this could have been even more enjoyable if we spent less time on how mina was failing calculus and feeling bad about not being as smart as other descendants (not that it's not a valid concern for a teen girl) and more time on later portions like the reveals and betrayals so we could marinate in them. bc i think it was strange that she didn't have a bigger reaction to yejun's betrayal. she just immediately went to thinking of a plan even tho at this point in the story, she already liked him. speaking of their relationship, we needed some flashbacks to yejun's other timelines bc those repetitions were where he fell in love with her, but we saw none of that. we didn't even get simple explanations on how he was able to keep going back to try and change the outcome. i guess we could go with the convoluted oh hong gildong can see the entire timeline and he allowed it because he wanted mina's powers?? but it just would have been great to spend more time on these portions. also side note, was the infiltration mission with jihoon supposed to have a bigger purpose?? or was it just that she had to be able to do it for infiltration's sake?

Thank you to Netgalley for the eARC of this book! I'm not sure I would have picked it up if I hadn't stumbled across it on Netgalley, and what a fun book it was.

Dragon-lite, time travel heavy, full of magical realism, with a side of sweet romance, this one was quite the page turner - it had me "ooooh"ing out loud as the story was spun. It started to drag for me for a while, but was all in all a really engrossing book.

Mina is a chameleon, but as a Wasian (half Japanese, half white) girl living in Korea, she's never felt like she belonged. Not until her magic finds the one boy who's off-limits: a rogue agent. As a descendant of a Japanese dragon god, she has the ability to time travel. The descendants have tasked her with a mission to kiss the cutest boy in her class, but a new boy interferes with her feelings. Yejun is a rogue agent, meaning he escaped the descendants and now lives his life on the run. He tells Mina about how the descendants are corrupted, and this only supports Mina's theory that the descendants wiped her sister from this timeline, making everyone forget her. Mina decides to join Yejun in his mission to correct all the actions of their corrupt leader who split their timeline from the original for greed instead of directing people to correct it. Now Mina just has to save the world, bring back her sister, and not fall for the infuriatingly handsome Yejun along the way.
I loved Mina and Yejun's romance so much. They're so cute and down bad for each other. I love the whole cheesecake thing, which was as sweet as the cheesecake itself. Their interactions and chemistry oozed off the page. Yejun is not nonchalant at all, which I love. Every time he promised to find Mina in every timeline, I grinned. They are the cutest couple ever and they're perfect for each other. And don't even get me started on Hyebin. She is such a girlboss but a softie inside. She's the best.
The plot was insanely twisty. There were passages I had to reread to understand the butterfly effect because everything was so intricately planned that the puzzle pieces only fell into place if you sat with it for a moment, reflecting the paradoxes of time traveling. Every time I thought a scene was the climax, another piece of information was revealed that had me gasping. I was checking the finished-percentage on my Kindle and scared for a cliffhanger every time. So grippy. I need to know more.

Just finished I’ll Meet You Where the Timeline Ends by Kylie Lee Baker and WOW. This book completely wrecked me in the most beautiful way. It’s emotional, raw, and deeply human—with a touch of time-trippy, speculative magic that feels so fresh and intimate.

Kylie Lee Baker has this way of writing that makes you feel seen, like she’s reaching into your chest and gently rearranging your heart. It’s about grief, memory, and identity, but also hope—and it somehow feels both grounded and otherworldly at the same time.

If you love stories that are a little strange, a little sad, and a lot unforgettable, this one’s for you. 💫📖

I continue to love everything she writes. Kylie has a way of taking what should be a complicated plot/concept, but writing it in such a way that you are sucked in and never confused about what's happening. Time travel can often get lost in the weeds and I didn't feel that way with this. There are a few little things that might have been clearer, but overall you are not left wondering about how the world works and why they were able to do something. Also, I read most of this on a plane so I look forward to a reread (probably listen) where I might pick up some of those things better.

Point is ALL of Kylie Lee Baker's books are compulsively readable and this one is no different.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the e-arc.

This was an incredibly unique concept for a book. It was giving me Marvel Multiverse vibes there for a minute. I thought the concept of maintaining the timeline and the adjustments was really interesting. I just felt like the timeline aspect could delved into more, I don't know why, but I kinda felt like something was missing from the story. Maybe adding to the depth of the lore presented? In the beginning of the book, we were thrown straight into the story, and it took a bit to get my bearings. But that was where the bulk of the lore for the story is laid out. The larger portion of the story is Mina and her interactions with the timeline.

I liked the characters and loved that the story was set in Korea. I would have loved to have seen more interactions of Mina with her parents in the story. Her dad just had this endearing quality to him. There was one character storyline that felt like it was brushed off with a whoops. Oh well, we can't fix that, and the moment is somewhat passed. The character is referred to and thought of, but that seemed to me to feel hollow within the story. And that part of the story left me somewhat unsatisfied. Everything else seemed to wrap up nicely, though.

I feel like this could have easily been expanded some into another book and had a deeper dive into the lore of the story. It was an interesting fast read, and I loved how unique the story was in itself.
