Twilight in Babylon

Time traveler Chloe despairs of being reunited with the love of her life, Cheftu, when she lands in the body of a marsh girl in ancient times. She struggles to fit in as she rises in rank but then has to flee when targeted for a human sacrifice. Chloe and Cheftu end up in the ancient city of Babylon where the purpose of their time traveling sojourns becomes clear.

This story was harder to get into than the others in the series. Too many characters and switching viewpoints were confusing at first, but once the focus zeroed in on Chloe and Cheftu, the story flowed more smoothly. Nonetheless, there was almost too much violence and depravity in this story with a multitude of religious sacrifices and people living amid squalid conditions that show more make you grimace. The conclusion was satisfactory if you buy the reason why Chloe and Cheftu were brought to Babylon. As always, the characterizations draw you into the story and thrust you into another gripping tale. show less

The 4th book in a series about a woman who travels back in time. A big disappointment. I love the others, but this one is awlful. The ending is such a let down.

Lejos del hombre que ama, Chloe Kingsley se encuentra sola en Babilonia, acosada por sus recuerdos y luchando por sobrevivir. Allí, en una región donde los cambios en el cielo y las inundaciones en la tierra hacen consigo catástrofes indecibles, los gobernantes exigen un gesto categórico para calmar a los dioses: el sacrificio de una joven. Mientras tanto, Cheftu busca fervorosamente a su amada y descubre que es precisamente ella la elegida para apaciguar la ira de los dioses. Juntos deberán ingeniárselas para engañarlos y escapar de sus enemigos.
