Alix Harrow has advice for anyone who is in the early stages of writing a time travel story: think again! “You can turn back. You don’t have to do this,” she said during an interview on the SFF Addicts podcast to the laughing delight of the hosts. I’m glad that she didn’t turn back herself.

It grabbed me at the get-go and never lost my attention.
