Hello Everyone,
I recently reviewed the second of Marissa Moss’ Mira Diary series on Goodreads. Below are my thoughts.
Mira’s Diary: Home Sweet Rome by Marissa Moss
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
Home Sweet Rome attached my attention at the library one day simply because of its title. I liked the idea of a diary format alluded to from the series title and loved the drawings of Rome on the cover, so, judging this book by its cover, I decided to delve into the second book in this series without knowledge of the first book, something I never do as a rule. The author adequately filled me in on details I would have gained from the first book through little flashbacks to Mira’s previous adventure.
After discovering that her mother is a time-traveler trying to fix events of the past so she can return to her family, Mira must solve several problems from the past to ever be reunited with her mother in the present day. Now in Rome, having completed tasks in eighteenth-century Paris, Mira goes to sixteenth-century Rome to try to save a man named Bruno from the Inquisition being conducted by the Catholic Church. Not knowing where or when she will happen upon a “touchstone,” a portal between time periods, Mira struggles with wanting to find her mother and complete the tasks and dodging a “Watcher,” a time-travel police officer, who claims her mother is a very bad person for changing the past and will be punished. Will Mira complete the tasks her mother needs to her to in time to change the past? Will Mira ever return to her father and older brother waiting for her in present-day Rome?
