Not stellar

Obviously, I enjoyed the first 2 in this series, or I wouldn’t be reading #3. Unfortunately, this one is annoying, in that it follows tangents that barely relate to the story one has gotten caught up
In, and It leaves you, simultaneously, hoping that a book 4 will tie up all the ends we thought 3 would, and not caring to find out.

Inconclusive

After listening to all three books in the Series I’m at a loss. Many of the stories are unfinished and as they went along jumped around which made it difficult when new people were introduced and had to connect who they were. I liked the books but wish there had been more cohesiveness and wasn’t left with as many unanswered questions of the many characters stories that were still not finished. What happened to the mother and the boy with the little baby. Who were the people that the Indian man was talking about the mysteries of how the time travel began.

History

The story had a Very unsatisfactory ending unless of course there were more books in the future

A failed Trilogy

Entirely too many dropped threads. I am really disappointed, confused and annoyed because I was fully invested in the story. Unfair to the listener.

Lots and lots of characters and storylines!

Tracey Llewellyn does an excellent job with voices and accents! I did enjoy the story but there were almost too many characters and storylines to keep track of and I'm not sure she brought it all together at the end. Like the silversmith that got trampled, why follow that rabbit and then leave so much unwritten? Overall it was good though. An enjoyable listen for the most part.
