Fantastic Series!

I loved this series. I could find no flaws in either the writing or the narration. Time travel is a tricky subject and this author does a fantastic job.

Round and round we go!

James Creed continues his journey in the hopes of saving the children from the 1944 circus fire. More clues are discovered revealing more of the mystery. Who is Dearborn? Why was the fire set? Is there a connection? Where will James eventually wind up? I’m usually not a huge fan of time travel novels, but this series is so well-written the story engaging, and the characters very likable. I enjoyed this tale and recommend it to all time travel enthusiasts. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Solid end to the trilogy

Liked the ending. Loved the first book. Found the twist to the supernatural in the second pretty shocking, but had to hear the end. I was too attached to the premise and the characters to not hear it... and it was awesome!

A Fitting Conclusion

I enjoyed this trilogy with an interesting and new take on time travel that I haven't seen before. Book 3 jumps between several time periods with many, if not all, of the storylines converging to a satisfying and united ending. I found the time jumps within chapters to follow the logical progression of the story and added positively to the overall story without feeling like the listener may lose their place when jumping into a new timeline. Surprisingly, I really enjoyed the supernatural element existing on the fringes of the main storyline and would be interested in a novel devoted solely to discovering their purpose and history.

There are no coincidences in time travel

This was a very well crafted and well executed conclusion to the series. I found the ending and explanations both entertaining and satisfying. All in all, I enjoyed the authors take on time travel and its implications for the world and the people in it. The issues around time travel, particularly skirmishes affecting the 'future' are always difficult to navigate. I Felt the author did an admirable job keeping it all straight and trying to cover the holes as best as possible. All in all, I would recommend this book, in fact this series, to anyone looking for a bit of near-term sci-fi/time travel adventure.

Now, the obligatory, "I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review."
