It’s a Claire North book, isn’t it?!
I love Claire North books, and this is no exception. It really is a case of buying the book based purely on her name being on the cover, and I haven’t been disappointed yet (thankfully!). This is the book that started it all for me.


Harry has lived his life many times. He’s an Ourabouros, and one of a few. On his deathbed, a young girl comes to see him and asks him to help find someone who is doing something that they shouldn’t be doing with their ability to live their lives repeatedly, and they’re changing the potential future of the world for the worst.

Her writing really is sublime. It’s a ‘don’t skip a word’ type of writing. I’m terrible for skim-reading, but I don’t do that with Claire North books: it’s all about the journey of the story, and the way in which it’s told.

So yes, I do recommend this book! I loved it.
