On to the next book which is...
The next book on my list that I have read is called Just One Damned Thing After Another by Jodi Taylor.
It is the first story of a series. To sum this book simply (which admittedly is difficult) would be to say it is pure escapism at its best. I loved the book. The characters we meet through the novel take you on their historical adventures, and the story is an engrossing imaginative retelling of historical events.
Our first person narrator Max is a young woman with a difficult, if slightly cloudy past to become a doctor and to literally 'change' history. The book follows her first years working for the mysterious St Mary's, this is a secret organisation that uses that old sci-fi favourite time travel to study history. Naturally this leads to some mishaps and a few scrapes along the way.
Max is an interesting character, a talented woman with a keen sense of humor who manages to plan an escape in the most difficult of circumstances. Naturally for a book that relies on the sci-fi trope we have mad scientists, people with unexpected talent, along with bitter rivalries, solid friendships and not so solid friendships. . Max is interesting character with much to like and I know this will be a series that I will continue with.
