I love all of Rysa Walker's TIme Trial books, and was super excited to be given a review copy of this graphic novel. I just wanted to finish the book I was currently reading first ... Unfortunately, I didn't realize that it was only a few days away from being archived when I downloaded it, and so the permission expired before I got a chance to read it. If by chance you want to restore the permission for me to read it, I'd love to read it and write a review!

Nineteen year old Clio wants to follow in her time traveling parents' footsteps and steps out on her own. She ends up watching the trial of Al Capone as she works on her skills as an artist (drawing court room scenes) but someone is after her and Clio has to protect herself and the timeline.

The art was lovely and the idea is a lot of fun. Clio is an interesting character. I like the 1930s as a historical setting, when a few enterprising women like Clio could strike out on their own, gaining more freedom than ever. She is intelligent and determined and I like that. This one ends on a bit of a cliffhanger after a man who seems to have something against her and her family decides to have a 'little fun' with her and sends her somewhere else in time.

If you like time travel stories, you'll enjoy this.

Not at all what I expected, but it definitely figures that the rat-bastard would be the catalyst for Clio's time travel "adventures." Also, I'm reading another book with a girl named Clio, and it just clicked before I opened this up again that she's named after her Grandma. I think to get much out of this you have to have read the entire "Chronos Files" series. I've seen a bunch of reviews for people who enjoyed it as a standalone, but I'm SO glad I knew the world. That ending though! #insanity #RysaIsLife
