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.
Although I really enjoyed the first two books of the Guardian's of Time trilogy I found that I didn't feel that the third book was quite as good. The narrators have changed again and I didn't identify quite as well with these two as I had Ethan, Isabel and Arkarian. That being said I still found the story to be exciting and interesting, up until the ending. I found the ending to be a bit unsatisfying after reading these three books due to the abruptness. If the author had added one more chapter, after the conclusion of the action, I believe I would have been much more satisfied.

I'd put off reading this for a long time because I wasn't sure I remembered enough about the first books in the series. I wish I hadn't waited - this was excellent! I wish this series had been more popular in the US. Well written, well plotted, but perhaps a smidge more "high fantasy" that Harry Potter or The Hunger Games. Really well done.
Eh. Better than the second book but not as good as the first. I wish it had gone on a little longer than it had. It seemed to stop so abruptly and just after a major event. I almost would have expected another book if I hadn't known this book series was a trilogy.

The characters were good, unique and I loved that they all had unique powers. The relationships really seemed to heat up in this book. It seemed everyone was dating someone in the group.

One thing I didn't like was that in the beginning of the Trilogy, they were unique and suposedly the only ones in the school who had these powers. But in this book, it seemed to me that almomst everyone in the school had powers.

An excellent ending to a fun trilogy. I adored this trilogy and the other book by Marianne Curley. She creates fun stories I couldn’t help but enjoy.
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.
This book was good, but i hated the ending!!
