This is only the second time travel book I have ever read, and indeed, this one is so completely different than any I have ever read. It not only appeals to time travel enthusiasts but historians as well. The age-old battle of good versus evil is a main thrust of the book, and if you can set all your preconceived notions aside, you just might find yourself buying into this book.

It is a thought-provoking novel in many ways, and the story will definitely keep you turning the pages, as well as the explorations into different historical eras. Of course, the natural comparison would be to Highlander, which also sees two immortals locked in an eternal battle to determine who will win The Prize, but at least in that universe once you cut a guy’s head off, that’s it—there’s no coming back. In other words, the parameters of how to achieve a final death on an immortal Highlander...more
I received this book as an Early Read through Library Thing to read and rate so here goes...
I loved the book! Couldn't put it down, started it yesterday morning and finished it this afternoon. A story of good and evil, light and dark, two brothers that cannot live apart but all hell brakes loose when they are together. You come to hate Vrag and his will to do pure evil, and you can relate to Raiken's goodness but at the same time his killer side as he tries to stop Vrag.

Interesting book. Far from my "usual" genre of book, even though it involved historical events almost like an alternate history type of book, so definitely not what I was expecting. That being said, it was an interesting read. I didn't really like the jumping around in the time line at first, but it made sense. I do wish the author had explained *how* the 2 main characters came into being. The book gave some very intriguing aspects to some famous historical events. I'm still attempting to fully...more
Two For Eternity was by no means a light read. It is the ultimate battle between good and evil. Two immortal brothers, Raiken (who is good) and Vrag (who is very evil), battle each other from 2640 B.C. through modern day 1981. For any history buff you will be fascinated by this novel and the different time periods shown. It is the ultimate book in time travel, except, they don't travel to a new time until they die and are reborn into another body. There is a lot of action and many scenes of war....more

I would like to thank Carl Alves for this book, which I won through Goodreads First Reads giveaways.
Raiken and Vlag's eternal struggle is a new take on the good vs. evil factor of humanity. Are humans inherently good or inherently bad? I still don't know, but the depiction of the struggle was enjoyable to read about. The book also followed the pattern of "I don't know," because there was no significant conclusion to the struggle.
The writing style was easy to read with very few fragments, which I...more

I got this for free as part of a review group. I think I picked this up originally through LibraryThing.
I've tried to read this completely, picked it up and stopped several times. I just can't stand the writing style. The history seems well done, and I'm not sure if it's supposed to have this whole Cain and Abel throughout time feel to it deliberately or not.

Two for eternity is a historical fantasy ( which I got free at Goodreads.com) . It also is a thriller which starts ou in ancient times and comes forward to modern times. It's two main charcater's, one likeable and one not, influence events through the times. It was hard to stop reading in the muddle of a chapter. I enjoyed the book very much.
Thoroughly enjoying fantasy adventure. I have a feeling this is not a stand alone piece, or it would feel incomplete otherwise. I look forward to the story continuing and learning more about how and why these immortals became what they are-- and can they ever die?
