It's been a while since I read adrenaline-packed adventure novels, and I might start again with this one. Great review!

I'm not one for being kept in the dark by authors, especially right off the bat, but it's reassuring to know that the author does clear things up relatively soon after the concepts and terms are introduced. Sounds like this book really hooked you; your summary paints an intriguing picture. I'd love to listen to this on audiobook during a long car ride to keep things interesting!

This is an amazing piece of science fiction which I found myself enjoying and rating 4 out of 4 stars. I loved the perfectly descriptive onlinebookclub.org review and advice readers to read it first.

I read the sample of the book and was intrigued but I am not usually a fan of time-travel stories, as I find them confusing at times. But based on your review, I think I will be giving this one a try. The storyline sounds very interesting, and I like that the author keeps you informed throughout the book. Great review!

The Quantum Cartographer is a futuristic suspense drama. While the author pushes to achieve a level of tense fear and rush of adrenaline, the prose is somewhat stilted. The is an over-reliance on putting as many adjectives as possible in each sentence, which, while being highly descriptive, at times comes off as amateurish. I found it difficult to read.

Time travel, sci-fi, and humor in one book? I'll be reading this add soon as possible! This definitely sounds like a blend of Dr. Who, Quantum Leap, and Terminator all rolled into one fantastic novel. Great job with the review!
It's amazing to see the world through the eyes of children. It's more fun to read with them, too.

I've always been fascinated with Time Travel Fiction books. I've tried some before but not everything is a good read. Mostly involves magic voodoo or some sorts. However, this is the first time I encountered something that involves science which makes it so intriguing So much so that I feel like I owe it to myself to read this. Lol. This one definitely goes to my To-Read shelf.

I don't usually read sci-fi but your review captured my interest. I do like time travel stories and this book has a high tempo opening, which is also a plus. I bought it and plan on reading it.

The Quantum Cartographer is an interesting book. Book filled with unimaginable act " time travel" though I've never seen one in reality but heard it on movies and in books. Second interesting act is to fight against time which we all know is our greatest enemy as mortals" human beings " I love science fiction because it helps to think what the hand is yet to attain. Maybe down the line we can get a hold of it.

Sounds like an immersive read, involving time-travel, sci-fi elements, destiny and drama. On the other hand, notions like the Crux and Cartographer apparently play their mysterious part. The adventures of Nija, the protagonist, together with his mother and a friend of his, reveal the story of struggles of humankind against dictatorship, Utopia, deception, etc. Obviously, the story itself is multi-layered, deep, but fast-paced at the same time.
