A MUST READ

I LOVED this book it was so insightful to the characters we have grown to love

How much do I love thee?

It is no secret that I'm a huge Jay Bell fan and although I love all the books, this one is extra special. It gives the before, after and in between of the Seasons Series. It also gave me more Jace and for that I'm happy. I've already listened to it more than once 😊

The best book series EVER!

I think that this book series deserves some kind of an award for.. being awesome! I loved the book and the forst two chapters made me cry so hard that I couldn't go to school the next morning. Not kidding. Maybe I'm just an emotional person but the books are actually amazing. I found the book something like summer by accident and was skeptical about reading it not thinking it was good. Little did I know that I'd be reading the whole series in a year and that the books would change my life. Not only did the books inspire me to come out, they gave me the strength and support that I couldn't get from my parents to LOVE MYSELF! So to anyone accidentally stumbeling across this book series and thinking weather or not they sould read it, I have only one thing to tell you: get ready for an emotional ride OF YOUR LIFETIME!!

Deleted scenes

Truly loved hearing all the side stories. Felt like deleted scenes from a movie. The character profiles at the end were pretty fun too!

Oh so sad about Victor

I was pleasantly surprised and totally shocked when I was listening to the story about Victor and his life I first met Victor a few books ago and my heart went out to him I never have forgotten him in this series but I think he had a sad life and even though I do not believe in the after death and I know this is a fiction book but his young death has totally broken my heart.

Backstory

Love the backstories! It was nice to see Eric's life and Victor & Jace's reunion.

And now the rest of the story...

Most authors can tell a good story while leaving out most of the details that link the characters and situations for a short period in time, often leaving many bits of information out of the book. This is not one of those authors. This is not one of those books.

Famous science fiction authors create their imaginary worlds and universes where the reader seldom has a basis to judge the imagined space in time. Jay Bell is not one of those authors. He develops characters and situations in recent to current time with all the relationships and scenarios as vivid as the real world on which they are based. This book ties together and clarifies much of the less important but not trivial details that link it all together.

But still the story continues to expand as the next book/audible book arrived just as I started this one. I hope I can find out the importance of a small Missouri college town to the author that made many of the characters what they have become, something like you and me.

This was interesting and entertaining

Any additional comments?

Fun little back stories in this book. Least favorite was the purgatory chapter...it was annoying in the beginning but then once I gave it a chance I got into it and was glad that Victor and Jace found each other. Allisons beach venture with Jace's sister was freakin AWESOME! I loved it. Overall amazing series!

Amazing!!

This was an amazing book. Sad that the series is funny over. I found myself smiling so much, as I did with much of the series. I really enjoyed Allison and Michelle's girls night out.

A history of more than one story.

I love how we even get a nod to kamikaze boys, with the encounter with Connor.
