I really like the character Dana; so far she appears to be your typical heroine. I’m not quite sure what to make of the husband yet. He was affectionate and seemed genuinely concerned for her at the hospital. Then the first chapter begins with him frustrated at his writer’s block and Ms. Butler uses words like malevolent, colorless and intimidating.
Here are a couple notes I wrote while reading.
-“Trip” was involuntary.
-Few minutes vs. 10-15 seconds.
-After being spontaneously transported to strange location her maternal instincts immediately kick in to save Rufus. Impressive. Not that I’ve been in such a situation and would have done otherwise, but it did seem sort of abrupt.
-So she must lose her arm in the alternate time. Dad looks like a prime candidate for that sort of violence.
I’m curious to see how she develops a plot centered on time travel.
