Really enjoyable albeit a bit confusing with the same-name characters. ( ) Even time travel moves slowly This carefully written book could be so much shorter and the pace could be so much faster. Things moved so slowly (even skipping, as I did, the various news articles, pages from manuals, and other non-essential inserts) that I could not maintain any interest in the story or characters. I received a review copy of "Now, Then, and Everywhen: Chronos Origins, Book 1" by Rysa Walker from 47North through NetGalley.com. When I pick up a book, I expect to finish it. Therefore, when I don't finish a book, I feel as if I am being disloyal to the author as well as the characters in the book. But, as I have aged into my golden years, I realize that there are more unread treasures for me to savor and I have too little precious time to read a book that I'm dreading picking up for one more chance. Such was the case with this book after reading about a quarter of its length. I'm a sucker for time travel books. I guess because they combine two of my favorite genres: science fiction and historical fiction. Therefore, when I downloaded a book about a time-traveling research organization employing a number of genetically-enhanced historians I was interested to begin. The book, at least the portion of what I read, was sketchy about the time travel device. Evidently, it was some hand-held fidget device that one would manipulate to travel to particular time periods. I was especially interested in one chosen, the album burning of the Beatles music after John Lennon made some statement about their popularity compared to Jesus. Much of book was a mish-mash of various time periods, which I understand might be by design but I found it very difficult to engage with the characters. Maybe I will pick this one up, if I read better reviews by other readers; however, I doubt it. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Chronos Origins (1)
"In 2136 Madison Grace uncovers a key to the origins of Chronos, a time travel agency with ties to her family's mysterious past. Just as she is starting to jump through history, she returns to her timeline to find millions of lives erased--and only the people inside her house realize anything has changed. In 2304 Chronos historian Tyson Reyes is assigned to observe the crucial events that played out in America's civil rights movement. But a massive time shift occurs while he's in 1965, and suddenly the history he sees isn't the history he knows. As Madi's and Tyson's journeys collide, they must prevent the past from being erased forever. But strange forces are at work. Are Madi and Tyson in control or merely pawns in someone else's game?"--Provided by publisher. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
