Goodreads Summary: Ever since her sixteenth birthday, strange things keep happening to Seraphina Parrish.

The Lady in Black… burns Sera’s memories.

Unexplainable Premonitions… catapult her to other cities.

The Grungy Gang… wants to kill her.

And a beautiful, mysterious boy… stalks her.

But when Sera moves to Chicago, and her aunt reveals their family connection to a centuries old, secret society, she is immediately thrust into an unbelievable fantasy world, leading her on a quest to unravel the mysteries that plague her. In the end, their meanings crash into an epic struggle of loyalty and betrayal, and she’ll be forced to choose between the boy who has stolen her heart and the thing she desires most.

Wander Dust is the breathtaking fantasy that will catapult you through a story of time, adventure, and love.

I really liked Wander Dust.  The one thing I really loved was the fact that people worked in teams.  While Seraphina did go off on her own, she did make her way back to her team.  And they did help her out, and stuck by her.

I loved the whole idea of team work to travel back in time.  They actually did work together, which seems so rare in YA.  Plus, how can you go wrong with a relic to go back in time?

It does take a while for things to get moving, but it is clear that Warren has a really clear idea of the world and how things work.  It is cool that there are a lot of small details thrown in that make sense as you read it.  We’ve definitely scratched the surface with Wander Dust, and I can’t wait to read more!

A few things were cliche, like Seraphina noticing weird things happening to her after turning 16, or her mom not being dead after all.

It gets a 4 out of 5.  Some of it was cliche, but overall it was a fun, exciting read!
