A Time to Reap The Legend of Carter Gabel Volume 1 Jonas Lee Sarah Carleton Amanda Simpson Books

I just finished reading this book, and I am so blown away that I am having trouble organizing my thoughts, but I'm going to give it a shot anyway.

There is so much to be praised in Jonas Lee's debut novel, A Time to Reap. The protagonists, Carter and Mo, are fun, likable, snarky, and relatable; basically everything I like in characters. The storyline is intricate and addictive, with twists and turns that I absolutely did not see coming. The plot itself, set in an alternate future where citizens can time travel and read minds and teleport, remains fully intact and makes the reader feel like they too are a part of this world. Most impressive, perhaps, were Mr. Lee's writing style and tone of voice throughout the novel that really connected the reader to the characters and kept them interested and involved.

I anxiously await the next book in this riveting new series!

A Time to Reap The Legend of Carter Gabel Volume 1 Jonas Lee Sarah Carleton Amanda Simpson Books Reviews

What an awesome tale of adventure with plot twists and turns that keep you guessing and wanting MORE! The humor was refreshing and laugh out loud the connections between characters was delightful! I will definately recommend this to everyone young and old! I can't wait to start the next one! Way to go Jonas and thank you for writing a book that has made me excited to follow it through to the end!
This book kept me engaged the whole time I read it. I love that it was set in the future. I am always looking for books to interest my middle school students and I think this will interest them. This book is a combination of The Time Travelers Wife and Harry Potter but it is also has it's own individual story and characters that each have their own unique personalities. The events that happen in the story can be realistic and I think readers will be able to relate to the characters. I can't wait for the next book!

Genre Science Fiction/Fantasy (Teen/Young Adult)
Jonas Lee’s debut novel, A Time to Reap, brings with it an edge of your seat excitement and anticipation that is lacking in so many new books today. Time travel isn't new to the science fiction genre, and if I’m honest not really one of my favorites. However, Jonas brings a fresh new look and feel to his story breathing life into an old idea. I recommend it for teens and young adult readers. The content is easy to follow and understand. The only reason I don’t recommend it for more mature science fiction readers is due to the simplicity of the plot. As a non-sci-fi reader it was great for me, however I think that people who really get into the detailed more mature science fiction might not enjoy or appreciate its simplicity as much.
Writing Jonas Lee’s writing style is fun and playful. The story is written in first person, from the viewpoint of the lead character, Carter. With Carters off-handed thoughts the reader gets to see into his mind in a way that is very unique. Jonas’s use of clever, quick witted dialogue keeps the story moving and the excitement coming. Although there were some minor editing errors and a few miss used words it didn't distract from the story at all or my enjoyment.
Story I love the new twists Jonas puts on time travel. The idea that the ‘Leapers’ start with little to no knowledge about their talents and what they can do, thus winding up in strange places completely naked, and have to learn to control their talents is wonderful. The mother son relationship between Carter and his mother is beautifully written and touching – at least for me as a mom. The growing love story between Carter and Mo is youthful and fun and yet reminds you of two old souls who have known each other all their life.
As a reader, I tend to enjoy more history and back-story on the characters I am reading about. However, even without the back-story I didn't feel as though I was missing anything.
There were two of three times throughout the story that I felt the characters didn't really react in ways I think normal human nature would drive them. One example would be when Carter learns who his father is. Don’t worry, I won’t give away too much. His father left when he was a young child, yet when he reappears in his life, I would think he would have some deep felt emotion (in any direction) over his return. However, this isn’t the case in this book. I’m hoping to learn more about their relationship in book 2.
Characters Carter, the lead character, is a snarky young teenager that is easily relatable and definitely likable. Beneath the humor, there is a sensitive side to Carter that we don’t normally see in male leading characters, which gives him a more human nature.
Appearance I love the cover of this book. It is simplistic, and yet it draws you in and makes you wonder what the story is about. The symbolism of the clock like image on the cover, as I took from the story, is almost a countdown. Not only the countdown or feeling that comes with leaping, but also the countdown that becomes extremely important during the changes that Carter is going through, and what is destined to happen next in his life. Very well designed.

The other day I was at work, trying to figure out an ending to a movie that I had recently watched. For the life of me I could not remember how it ended, or even when I watched this movie. Then I realized, it wasn’t a movie I was remembering, it was this book! It has been a rare occasion for me to become so wrapped up in a book that it plays out like a movie in my head. I have come across some boring books, or just blah books.

“A Time to Reap” was not boring or blah. They say when writing that the first chapter is the most important part of the book. In this case, Jonas Lee, has mastered the first chapter. From the very first paragraph to the last words of the first chapter, I was hooked. I didn’t want to go to sleep because I wanted to continue reading. Again, this is something that has been lacking in my reading lately. It was a book I just couldn’t bring myself to putting down.

It did remind me of the movie “A Time Traveler’s Wife” which was an amazing movie. The time travelers did were not able to decide when they traveled and they always show up without clothes, just like the movie. But, it’s nothing like the movie. There is a sweet love story underlying the story, but it doesn’t overpower the whole, which I greatly appreciate.

If you have something against indie authors, this book will blow you out of the water. Actually, if you found this book on the shelf at Barnes n’ Noble it would still blow you out of the water. Seriously, how many books about time travelers are out there? It’s refreshing and entertaining. I can’t wait to read the next book.
