Summary
All series must have an official starting point, and as the best-selling author of the Saving History series, I can verify that this is Ian’s beginning. As Ian wakes up on is ordinary 17th birthday, he never imagines the havoc and devastating consequences the day would bestow upon him. Not only is Ian’s life in jeopardy, but so are his parents’ and his best-friend Kayla’s’. Losing time in Ian’s life happens to follow the pattern of looming danger that surrounds him.
Ian feels as if he is trapped in a horrific nightmare, being tortured by visions of places he’s never been to all with something colored red. Ian does not understand why this is happening to him. He believes turning 17 shouldn’t mean losing a year of your life, only to have your best friend erased from history.
While Ian thinks about these things, he finds help from an unusual avenue. His help has to teach him of his family history, in order to help him save history. Ian learns around his family history with the Time Keeper. Can Ian repair history and retrieve his best friend back, before Mason finds him?

Memories distort time
While listening to the riveting Time Keeper I may have gotten a different sense of the theme of the book than other people - I guess it is true that a book's true narrative is formed in the readers/listener's mind, not when it is actually written. Because I kept going back to that one's memory distorts one's time perception. Humans have a temporal range - but we definitely also have an individual one.
Young Adult novels have a complicated stigma, and I am one to usually not like them - but the writing and the narration cascaded my imagination to go places I thought impossible (with the whole subjective temporal range and such). Because of this, this book gets a solid 5 in every category! Read it yourself, you'll enjoy it.

Quality Young Adult
"Time Keeper" is a great beginning to a capturing YA series!
What I really found endearing about this listen was that we follow a young 17-year-old protagonist, but the theme of the story is to treat time preciously and not take it for granted.
Likewise, it deals with the latter part of one's teenage years as something fleeting, with changes happening that almost feel like never existed. Similar to how Ian woke up and his best friend Kayla never existed. What ultimately can be seen as romanticized, not in actual romance, but as the art form, is that Ian has to rediscover his family history to will his history back. A neat idea and concept, that teaches to treasure one's family and loved ones.
Overall "Time Keeper" is well worth your time, and the narrator Francisco Almenara-Dumur does a good job bringing the book to life.
5/5 from me on all accounts.
