I thought this book was so fun and refreshing to read! I loved the setting and all of the twists and turned involved in the time travelling aspect. I found myself thinking about this book whenever I wasn't reading it, trying to think of where the story was going and how things set up in previous chapters would be used. The relationship dynamics between the main character and the other characters in this book were all varied and intriguing in their own right. I especially loved reading about how the main character felt towards her parents and how their relationship changed over the course of the story.

My only issue was that there were times where things were described in one way and then the next paragraph would seemingly contradict what was previously written. I found myself trying to fill in gaps and infer certain things in order for it to make sense in my mind. This could be a personal issue, especially as I don't typically read books with time travel in them.

Overall, I really enjoyed reading I'll Find You Where the Timeline Ends and will look into this author's other books in the future. I believe this is a standalone novel, but I would 100% read more books set in this universe!

Let me start by saying I love this book, I’m normally wary of YA because a lot feel a bit too juvenile but this was a great story that just happened to center around YA characters.

I loved the pacing, a majority of the characters, a hard to guess plot, and a unique premise. While I ultimately enjoyed this story a lot, the world building was slightly muddled and left me confused at certain parts. I also felt like the ending was wrapped up a bit too quick given the lengthy journey it took us to get there. But even with my few gripes, I highly recommend reading this.

3.5 stars

Thank you NetGalley and Kylie Lee Baker for this eARC

This book was good. It would’ve been better if I was 18 again. But still a good read.

First, my minor issues:
- the world building was so so close. Every chance Baker had to expand or explain, she turned her back. The concept was so good, especially as someone who LOVED anything time travel related growing up (I’m talking Back to the Future and Dr Who specially)
-Mina lacked a certain, depth. Again, she had so much going for and so little was expanded on
-I felt like the book had a sudden stop. Again, she built up this huge plot line and idea and rebellion, that just ended because the Dragon King shows up? Yea, no thanks
-more than one magic is hinted at towards the end? So could we be getting more? Or is this another drop-off with no explanation
-I wanted more between Mina and Hyebin


What was good?
-the romance. 10/10. Annoyance to lovers is by far the best trope (even better than enemies to lovers). Mina and Yejun’s chemistry was absolutely perfect and everything one could hope to have one day
-her parents. Parents always tend to heavily live on the side in YA books, and Mina’s parents were no different, however, the crossed the line parents are put behind a little more. We got some real, good, paternal/ maternal love and instincts that help give Mina a little personality back
-the concept. If expanded on, this really could have been the book of the year. The whole idea of time travel has been lost on this generation, and I think it’s time to comeback. That time magic was given to humanity by a dragon who was in love with him? And then a whole time magic government? Yes please, give me more.
-the call backs and actually explaining each Echos appearance helped to tie it all back together. Unexpected since everything else dropped off without explanation
-the use of the Butterfly Effect. Miss girl really gets what it actually is about. So I think everyone on TikTok rn should read this to get a better understanding of what the Butterfly Effect actually is


All in all I would recommend this book for anyone who wants a quick read, but don’t expect it to really delve into the science or theories of time travel.
Look at it as it is: a YA romance that brushes up against the concept of time travel

DNF… i really wanted to like this but it is honestly not my kind of thing. kind of hard to follow and a little slow at times. i loved the characters and the overall plot though!

From the very first chapter of I’ll Find You Where the Timeline Ends, I was completely pulled into a story that is as emotionally resonant as it is fast-paced. The pacing is masterfully handled, building tension and momentum without ever feeling rushed. Every scene feels purposeful, moving the plot forward while also allowing space for reflection and connection. The story unfolds with a graceful rhythm that had me fully immersed and constantly eager to see what would happen next. It's a rare feat to balance action, heart, and depth so seamlessly, but this book achieves it with remarkable ease.

The characters are beautifully developed and feel authentic to their age and experiences. Their voices are distinct and compelling, and their emotional arcs are handled with care and depth. The relationships—whether romantic, platonic, or familial—feel genuine and grounded, making their choices and struggles all the more impactful. The time travel element is not only creative and well explained, but it’s also tightly woven into the narrative in a way that enhances the emotional stakes. Every twist is purposeful, and the plot resolves in a satisfying, meaningful way. This book is a thoughtful, emotional, and deeply engaging read that lingers in your mind long after you finish.

Mina is on a quest to wrap up her most recent assignment and become a full-fledged agent. Becoming an agent will allow her to search for her sister that everyone but her has seemed to forgotten. While on assignment she meet Yejun, a rogue agent who makes her start to rethink the beliefs that she has held so close to her and dangles in front of her the one thing that she is searching for, her sister. When time can be manipulated and no one is being completely honest who can you trust?


I really enjoyed this book, the world that the author built while fantastical, also seemed incredibly possible. Mina's struggles while involving time travel, are also the same struggles that any teen nearing the end of high school would be facing. The characters were well fleshed out and it was interesting to sit with the idea that if you had the power to manipulate time what would you do with it?

Cute and funny love story with time travel. I really enjoyed it. Time travel parts had me confused a little bit and took me a little to figure out but once I did I really enjoyed it. I loved the dragons descendent aspect too! It’s definitely a 13+ age book so at times I felt like it was too YA for me but I still really enjoyed it!

Dnf'd about 10% of the way. Unfortunately was a lot more YA than I think I was anticipating, but that's completely on me. From what I read, the book itself is well written with an interesting concept with a lot of representation and insight into Japanese culture and folklore. Unfortunately, just wasn't for me in the end.

Overall, this one just felt pretty flat. There was a lot of info-dumping early on, which left me more confused than intrigued at times. I really liked the idea of using the butterfly effect, and the premise definitely had promise, but the world-building definitely needed more clarity and depth to really make the time travel elements work.

None of the characters really stood out either. Both the main and side characters felt underdeveloped, and honestly, the leads often came across younger than they were supposed to be. The relationship between Mina and Yejun also moved way too fast to feel believable. On top of that, the pacing dragged in several places, which made it harder to stay engaged.

Another thing that didn’t quite sit right was how little focus there was on Hana, especially considering how much Mina supposedly wants to find her missing sister. It just felt off. It’s a shame, really. I’m a big fan of time travel stories, and the concept, title, and cover had me intrigued. I really wanted to enjoy this, but the way everything was handled just didn’t live up to what I was expecting.

I loved this book! It's a very sweet YA romance without too much going on despite the big concept of time travel and mythology.

Mina, descendent of a Japanese god, has the power of time travel. We follow as she teams up with other descendents to find her sister, protect the timeline, and survive highschool.

Super fun read!

You do not need to know anything at all about Asian Folklore, culture or magic to enjoy this book. It will introduce you to many aspects of all three. It was well written with Middle Grade and young adults in mind. The reader will need to keep this in mind when it comes to expecting spicy romance. The romantic scenes are very appropriate for younger ages even if it seems a bit cringy. Asian culture and any courtship is well represented. There were parts of the story that seemed to come out of nowhere without prior context Although I might have just missed it because I got wrapped up in the characters and story. From beginning to end it kept my attention even through the slower more predictable parts. It was enjoyable to have lighthearted and tense moments spread out through the story.

Mina is a teenage time traveler working to keep the timeline intact and discover the truth/get justice? for her long lost sister who has been erased from the timeline, all while surviving high school. She teams up with a mysterious agent Yejun to uncover the truth about the Descendants, guardians of the timeline.

I thoroughly enjoyed the fantastical and romantic aspects of this book! The time travel parts are really cool. Mina is such a fun character to follow and her adventures with Yejun are just adorable (and the struggles with calculus are relatable). The twist at the end was wonderfully set up and satisfying (though a little sad) to read. This is peak YA romance and I love it.

This was such a fun cute YA read.

I’ve never read a Time travel or butterfly effect book but this was super easy to follow and wasn’t confusing at all. I think part of what made it fun was learning the “echos” and following them throughout as well.

I think the FMC Mina was likable and relatable which made the romance that much better and enjoyable. Also the banter? So cute!! Everything was tied up so nicely at the end.

Thank you to Net Galley and Macmillan childrens publishing group for this ARC in exchange for a honest review.

I honestly didn't really know what I was getting into with this book, I had a friend send me a teaser for it on Instagram because she enjoys the author. So I said why not try to get the book? And I wasn't really expecting to be accepted and I am grateful that I was because this book was so much more different that what I usually read. I did not expect to enjoy this read as much as I did I love the time traveling aspect it was so fun! And the betrayals I was like 'how dare you!' with each one which I totally did not see coming. I have already recommended this book to some fellow readers for when it comes out!

Thanks to MacMillan's Childrens Publishing Group and Feiwel & Friends for providing this book for review consideration via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

The descendants of a Japanese deity and Korean dragons have teamed up to keep rogue agents from breaking the timeline, but Mina knows too well how unfairly the higher-ups treat some descendants - like her missing sister. Who can she really trust? And will she be able to pass calculus?

Mina's story blends magical and mundane challenges, including a mixed-race heritage shared by the author and a mysterious love interest. The snarky narrator and divine heritage is reminiscent of Percy Jackson, with the additional twist of time travel. Time travel can be tricky, and I appreciated how the author handled it. An enjoyable read all around!

I don’t usually reach for time travel books, so I was a little hesitant to request the ARC for this one. But, I am so glad I did! This story had such sweet, heartwarming moments and ended up being the perfect read after an intense high fantasy. I especially loved that it was a fantasy rooted in a culture outside of the typical Western setting. Just the right mix of fluff and emotional depth. I’ll admit, the MFC Mina get on my nerves at times but overall this was a really enjoyable read I happily recommend to anyone looking for a little lighter and super easy to sink into.

the time travel was a tad bit confusing but I overall had a fun time reading this story. This is definitely a slice of life book with a bit of fantasy and magic ties in. I thought this was overall a easy read to get my mind off the longer and more denser books. This is more of a book that you read and try to not think to much while doing so or you'll get confused. Just enjoy the ride and it'll be worth it in the end! If you're someone who wants a story with the butterfly affect and the slice of life effects of time travel this is it!

3.5
What I didn't like: the cussing and it was confusing at times.
What I did like: The main characters were both pretty good, the plot was cool, and I loved the ripple effect and how the guy would be basically playing "Seven degrees of Kevin Bacon". I liked the dragons and the time traveling.

So all in all, I liked it. It was good and sweet, I loved the tattoo and how everything connected. If you like this type of book, I would highly recommend.

I loved this story so much! Such a luminous and emotionally charged time-travel fantasy that delivers both heart and wonder. At its core is a fierce love story—between siblings, between timelines, and between identity and heritage.

What sets this novel apart is Baker’s vivid, reverent portrayal of Korean culture and the city of Seoul. The setting isn’t just a backdrop—it pulses with life, color, and tradition. From quiet temples tucked in city corners to bustling streets infused with street food and history, Seoul is painted as a place of memory, magic, and meaning. Baker seamlessly weaves Korean folklore and language into the story, grounding the high-stakes fantasy in something deeply personal and culturally rich.

Mina’s journey through grief, love, and time itself is thrilling and poignant, but it’s the cultural grounding and Baker’s clear affection for the setting that make this novel unforgettable. Highly recommended for fans of lush fantasy with a soul.

This was such a cute story! I loved the FMC and the MMC. The time travel was confusing at times but this was not necessarily detrimental to the story as a whole. The love story as well as Mina’s relationship with her family was so sweet and had me tearing up throughout. A very fun, easy read.
