The characters are well written and well developed. I loved Maria and Pedro’s character a lot. Maria is very cute and she is curious into knowing how things work. Pedro is also very understanding and very patiently answers to all her questions. Maria’s curious questions leads Pedro to this quest. The story is very enlightening and would answers some of the questions that we all have in our mind regarding time.
I overall loved the book and I am sure it will keep the readers engrossed till the end. I would surely recommend this book to someone who looking to read something short.

My Rating: 4/5
