I read the Guardians of Time triology in one go. I loved them: well-written, exciting and the short chapters invite you to read just one chapter extra...The story follows a group of youngsters, who are 'chosen' ('named' because of their special talents, who are able to travel back in time, trying to prevent from changes to be made by the goddess of chaos and disorder. They guard our current time.
Uhg. By far the worst book of the Guardians of Time trilogy. The only reason why I finished this book was because I didn't want to be lost when I read the third book.

Things that amazed the characters I seemed to remember hearing before in the first book. And it seemed to me that it took them soooo long to get where they were going, just to find out something they already knew.

Maybe I expected too much from this book. I just thought the first book was so good and that thought spoiled this one for me.

In The Dark the Order of Chaos has stepped up it's efforts to change history's timeline. They have also specifically targeted Ethan and Arkarian for their actions in their most recent conflict.

The Dark picks up almost immediately after the events of The Named but this time our featured narrators are Isabel and Arkarian. It is very interesting to see things from Arkarian's perspective. Once again I've found this re-reading of the book even more enjoyable than I did the first.
A great follow-up to the first book in the series. Delving deeper into this world and the characters was a treat.
The Guardians of Time Trilogy by Marianne Curley is one of my favorite series from one of my favorite authors. In this series Ethan and Isabel have to go back in time to help save the future from the Goddess of Chaos Lathenia.
Since this is the sequel to The Named, i of course am going to like it. But don't read unless you have read the named!
En esta segunda parte de la exitosa trilogía de Marianne Curley —cuya primera entrega, Los elegidos, ha conquistado a miles de lectores—, se acercan días difíciles para los Guardianes del Tiempo. Doce meses después de la muerte de su amado Marduke, la Diosa del Caos ejecuta su terrible plan de venganza, lo que obliga a Isabel y Ethan a contraatacar para preservar el curso de la Historia. Junto con su hermano Matt y el inseparable Ethan, los tres jóvenes se embarcarán en la aventura más oscura, peligrosa y trepidante que habrían podido imaginar, un viaje que los conducirá a través de increíbles paisajes llenos de magia y misterio.
