I first want to say that time-travelling novels are extremely difficult to get right. Temporality as a plot device can be tough to use correctly for quite a few different reasons. In ‘A Not So New World’ by Patrick Hatt, I have to say that the time-travel was very well done. As this is the first story I have read by Patrick Hatt thus far, learning that this was only one book in the series is a thrilling proposition!Jack is a very dynamic character who is as strange as he is intelligent, and his interactions with other characters, especially Agent Milano, are wonderfully crafted and put together in a way that makes you want to learn more about him and the way that he affects people around him. This, mixed with a writing style that is as evocative as it is memorable, makes getting through the book an absolute treat. It is not a short book by any means, but I flew through this story within a couple of days, that is how much I enjoyed the way that the prose and exposition flowed throughout the novel.I would recommend this story to anyone that likes fantasy, time travel, or sci-fi stories. It is written in a way that is accessible for everyone, so check it out; you won't be disappointed!
