Sounds interesting and the presence of mystical events caught my attention. Thanks for the review!

I really like this review, the reviewer made it so that you'd want to read to understand Angel Raka, Albert and Angel Arka . The mystical infusion in the story makes it one I'd like to read.

It’s always tricky to write about a historical figure in fiction, let alone make them a main character. For these authors to make a prominent individual such as Albert Einstein the main character in a historical fantasy involving time travel/travelers is quite the feat, which the authors have pulled off well, if the review is accurate. It’ll be interesting to see how the fantastical events intertwine with known events of Einstein’s early life. Thank you for the helpful review.

Einstein's Compass is a mystical take on history that tells us what would have happened if Albert Einstein had acquired a magical stone.

Mystical travelers, powerful stones, and fallen angels—these are elements that make a thrilling sci-fi/ fantasy novel. Albert Einstein’s development of the theory of light is also involved in the story. Congrats on botd!

Albert Einstein is the best person to imagine in a time travel story, considering his theories on the subject. Congratulations on BOTD!
