Gideon the Cutpurse Being the First Part of the Gideon Trilogy

Okay, WOW! The Time Travelers was unexpectedly good. It is confusing at first, I'll warn you. The character perspective switching can get a little annoying, and it's hard to memorize everyone's names, but don't worry, it'll get better. I usually do not read historical fiction. This was the most action packed historical fiction I have read in my life! Some of the characters were weird, while some of the other characters were flat and boring. This was the greatest flaw for me. However, I did really really like the Tar Man/Blueskin. I found him and his past very intriguing, and I loveloveloved how he stood up for Gideon on hanging day. I can't wait to find out why, though I have several guesses. On the other hand, Sidney kind of made me want to pull my hair and scream at the book. I wouldn't fall over recommending The Time Travelers, but it's a solid story and an enjoyable read.
