Review "An engaging SF tale whose cause-effect plotline takes a licking and keeps on ticking. Datta's formidable mainsprings of deep thought, causality, horology, music, and shameless romanticism help set up this first installment of an SF series. The book is closer to Audrey Niffenegger's The Time Traveler's Wife (2003) in dealing with matters of the heart. But just when readers might have the plot strands all decoded, a concluding twist and a surreal-vision finale turn the storyline into a dense, snarled mesh of gears and escapements."—Kirkus Reviews "A story that pleasantly teases your ability to grasp and perceive information with every flip of the page... With a gripping and engrossing plot, Avi Datta adopts a complex style of writing, presenting his thoughts and ideas through random flashbacks and digging back and forth into the story... Time not just as we know it, but time that is painted in all its glory from the very beginning until the end, turning back on itself until the circle is complete."—Keith Mbuya of Reader's Favorite "An expansive, genre-bending story for readers craving romance combined with gripping sci-fi. The Winding succeeds in holding adventurous readers in thrall with a fast-paced storyline, a strong narrative voice, and polished prose that often is touched with beauty"—Booklife/ Publishers weekly "Avi Datta spins an intricate and inventive sci-fi narrative that engages the mind and merges several interesting themes: loss, love, politics, fantasy, martial arts, orphanhood, friendship, racism, artificial intelligence, and more. The Winding does a fantastic job of portraying the emotions and thoughts of the protagonist through comprehensive internal dialogue." —The Manhattan Book Review "Suspenseful...Kept me glued to the book. The plot was arranged so perfectly that it was easy to understand, even when the author used flashbacks."—Online Book Club Avi Datta has woven, a complex tapestry of possibilities surrounding the concepts of time and multiple existences, which may come across to some as a little daunting in some respects, given the paradoxes these theories can create. The true strength of this story, however, lies in the human drama that is brought to life in rich relief. All the characters are not only unique but also have a depth of personality that makes them extremely powerful magnets to the reader's emotions."—Steven Robson for Readers' Favorite "This is the kind of sci-fi story that like-minded readers will talk about in their circles for its intelligent plotting, stunning imagery, and larger-than-life characters. And for that, The Winding is an absolute must-read." —Vincent Dudlado for Readers' Favorite "The Winding is an innovative science fiction tale that mixes action with deep introspection to create an engaging and sometimes surprising narrative. It'll be interesting to see what Datta has in store for readers in the next volume in the Time Corrector series."— San Francisco Book Review "The Winding captures you from the first page and keeps you hooked until the end. This feels like a solid start to what seems to be a promising sci-fi series. You find yourself glued to the pages as the reveals keep churning out with each turn of the page."— Pikasho Deka for Readers' Favorite "A compelling, extraordinarily readable book.The cliffhanger ending will raise readers' fervor for the next installment. Fans of morally serious hard SF will be greatly rewarded. Datta is an author to watch."—The Prairies Book Review "The book is both intriguing and meticulously executed, and Datta is skilled when it comes to employing the time-travel tropes. An intelligent, transporting time-travel tale brimming with music, ideas, emotion, imagination, and possibility. This is a stunner." —The BookView Review "What really stands out is not just how well the plot is constructed with all of its connections but how deeply the characters connect to one another."—Adam Wright of Reedsy Discovery Product Des
