YA
Etta (a modern-day violin prodigy) and Nicholas (a former eighteenth-century slave), on separate, dangerous journeys through time, try to find a powerful astrolabe and each other. Meanwhile, a revelation about Etta's own backstory makes her question her loyalties. This duology conclusion should satisfy Passenger fans' curiosities, but the effort of keeping track of the many threads outweighs the excitement of the (long-deferred) romance.
