Sometimes she made mental commentary - like comparing shakes in the late 60's to modern shakes.

For example, using her powers makes her hungry and she often stops to eat in the book, but I didn't need to know exactly what she was eating every time. It did drag at parts where things got over-described. She has a great advantage over others, but she's not invincible, and she doesn't know what tricks the enemy is using.It was a fun read. All of her feelings about it are very understandable.The way she uses her powers to solve problems is interesting. There's also a smaller sense of not wanting to turn her back on them. She's also worried about the fact that her people are being kidnapped, and she could be next. One of the captives is someone she's familiar with and wants to help. But she feels compelled to save them - not because she has some superb sense of justice, but there's a layer of problems facing her. On one hand, she doesn't really know the other Harekaiian all that well. I didn't feel like she was a blank slate.She's pretty realistic in her motivations. I like that she's a fairly old character, and I also like that she definitely had strong opinions about what she liked.

It does a pretty good job of pulling the reader into its world, where, for Akalya, shifting around through time and space is completely normal.She and others like her blend into the background as they go through life, but someone is starting to kidnap them, and she decides she should do something to save them.Akalya is a pretty strong character. I received a free copy of this book in exchange for a non-reciprocal review.(This review will contain spoilers).Time Shifters is a fairly short story.
