Time's Dagger

De: Margot Hovley

Narrado por: Sten Shearer

After a rough stint at work in the ER, Dillon Kelly is more than a little ready for a vacation when he packs his bags and sets off on a camping trip in the wilds of Ireland. But when a mysterious dagger covered in druidic markings appears in his backpack, Dillon finds himself hurtled into the 14th century. Thrust into the legends and politics of ancient Ireland, he is rescued from suspicious locals by a beautiful young woman named Ailish.

Ailish has always dreamed of being a bard, but there’s just one problem: Women aren’t allowed. Determined to follow her heart, Ailish has fooled everyone into thinking she’s a boy - everyone, that is, except for Dillon. He’s agreed to keep her secret in exchange for her help in finding his way home to his own time. Despite the impossible barriers between them, feelings beyond friendship soon blossom. But more than just their budding romance is in danger. Ailish isn’t the only one who recognizes the dagger’s druidic significance, and there are those who would stop at nothing to harness its time-bending powers.

A terrific time travel tale!

“Time’s Dagger” captivated me. I cannot express how much I loved this book. As someone who can be quite the critic, I couldn’t find anything to disagree with or dislike.

I love the possibility of time travel, and it made many references to my favorite film, “Back to the future”. It has beautiful descriptions of 1370 Ireland, and I felt like I was personal transported there with the main character Dillan.

*SPOILERS AHEAD*
Dillan made me laugh every time he opened his mouth. I loved all his awkwardness and newness to his adjustment in the past.

Ailish had a wonderfully exciting background. I loved her femininity mixed with a strong desire to be on equal ground with men. She was a great character with lots of development.

Everything ended tied up in a bow so neatly as can be a difficult task with time travel stories. I was almost going to be disappointed if Dillan stayed in ancient Ireland and was absolutely giddy when they traveled back to the modern day. I would love to read more about how their lives played out in the future.
