Ch. 1-- The River
I went into this book with many reservations... I was worried how the two generes would mesh together seamlessly, however when I finished the first chapter I realized that Octavia's writing (yes, we're on a first name basis) was extremely fluid. I rather enjoy the book and am looking forward to see how the storyline progresses. My favorite aspect of the story is how Dana actually disappears to the past instead of as if in a dream, and how she brings back the environment of the past, with the mud and wet dress, this will keep her somewhat credible, which is against the grain with most time-travel books.

Tyler, thanks for posting your initial thoughts on the book. I was curious what you think the two genres of this novel are. It's not clear from your post, but I was really interested in what you were interested in what you said about two genres meshing together.
Also, I was wondering what appealed to you about Dana disappearing and/or bringing the physical world back with her? I was surprised by this too, but wasn't able to put my finger on why I thought it was cool.
