YA
While Jake uses the Mirror to search for his father in the past, Sarah seeks a coin that can save the future. Meanwhile, Venn resists the Faerie Queen's temptations. Blending genres and constantly shifting between characters' perspectives, this second installment feels crowded and confusing. Still, it asks thoughtfully: can time-travelers really care about any time period but their own?
