I figured out part of the twist to the story early on, but still made for a good read. ( ) I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This review is incredibly difficult having just this moment finished the book and suffering from intense book love. This book ended WAY too soon. It was so good that I was constantly checking the pages, wishing I could slow the inevitable. It is no secret that I LOVE love love Time Travel books but because of my obsession I tend to be more strick with them. Having said that I must say that this book was incredible! The actual traveling of the Time Streams was not explained in depth but the explanations that were given felt plausible and not like copout fantasy nonsense. The world building was superb and the character development excelled so much that I fell hopelessly in love with a few of the characters. The surprise reveal at the end wasn't much of a surprise at all but I loved watching it unfurl in book time. I anxiously await the release of the next book and would gladly give my honest opinion again in exchange for a pre-released copy... in a heartbeat :::hint hint::: All in all I cannot recommend this book enough to anyone who loves a good romp through Time and even to those not readily seduced by Time Travel books at all. This has been by far my favorite first-reads book and one I look forward to rereading. I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

First it was water.Then blood.And finally smoke. Gwen Conway never knew there were so many ways to die. Honestly, it was something she would have been happy not knowing. Maybe, they really are just dreams. Nightmares. But they won't stop. And dreaming of her death is getting old. Then there's the sleepwalking. She'd like to pass on that too. Gwen's pretty sure the dreams have something to do with her new job. Which of course, is definitely not just a 'job.' Don't get her wrong, working for the Archiver of the Time Streams has its perks. Having the power to travel to any past or future time is fantastic. Plus, there's Rafe, the ex-gladiator from the future. She'd like to keep him around too. Not that she would tell him that. It'd go straight to his head. But she's less than pleased to find herself in the middle of a time travelers' war. Especially against a crazed half-god who has the power to obliterate the existence of any time or place. And the Guardians, her so called allies? All the help they offer are strict rules and smug superiority. Plus, they seem convinced she's already lost, that she's already died. Gwen is starting to wonder whether she should have read her employment contract more carefully.Borrowing themes from Greek and Roman legends such as Pandora and the war between the Titans and Olympians, lovers of mythology and fantasy alike will enjoy this mind-bending romp through different times and universes. Well-grounded in the world of today, this urban fantasy stands out from the pack with its complex theories on time travel and unique brand of quirky humor. No library descriptions found. |
