My Opinion

Fantastic, Thrilling and Unique

A Coin for the Ferryman by Megan Edwards is a fantastic time travel thriller fiction. The plot has everything, from time travel to romance. But, the best part of the book is its climax which will keep you thinking about the plot for a long time. The author has amazingly plotted thrill, adventure and romance in one book. Also, diverse characters make the story more interesting. I would give the book 5 stars.

Character Portrayal

Megan Edwards in her book, A Coin for the Ferryman, have used a cast of diverse characters. Our Protagonist, Cassandra is a woman who want to take her life to a new level by entering a prestigious university. She has endured many things in her life which made her strong and fearless. She has got powerful friends. Alex Hunt, a business tycoon helps Cassandra to achieve her goals. Although, I was expecting a romantic connection between Cassandra and Alex, but, the author had something else in mind. Andrew Danicek's character is also of an ambitious researcher. Tertiary characters are crafted well each having different nature which make them unforgettable.

Narrative Style

A Coin for the Ferryman by Megan Edwards is an easy read in spite of a science fiction. The author has used a simple language to describe the events. There are few flashbacks of the characters, but, does not create any confusion.
