I received this book for review from Jana's PA
Sojourn is a book Jana wrote a few years ago, before her Demon Trapper's series and it's actually a pretty decent read as well! Time traveling, shapeshifters not bad. And a murder mystery on top of it!
I had some high expectations going into the book, but not all of them were lived up to unfortunately. Not to say it was horrible, I just didn't get sucked in like I was expecting. I think it was due to some of the descriptions ru More...

When I had the opportunity to read Jana Oliver's Sojourn, I jumped at the opportunity -even before I had any idea what the book was about. Aside from the fact that I just love books, I also have recently fallen in love with Oliver's Demon Trappers series, so it's hard for me to say no to any of her other work. However, I'm always careful when it comes to delving into an author's past titles. While such an expedition can turn up unexpected gems, it can also turn up some titles that were just not

[writing rough draft of rev, notes]
I'm giving this one a 3.5 . I had fun reading it. I've read the author's Demon Trapper's series (and loved it). This was written before (and I do think that writer's get better the more books they have under their belt).
The characters are well done, and I liked their interactions. Also, the heroine is strong, smart but not invincible. The mythology is a different twist too. All of these are things I'm starting to associate with Oliver's More...

I’ve struggled to figure out how I should write this review because all I really want to say is that this book is great and that if you like time travel, Victorian London and well thought out characters then you’ll love Sojourn, but that’s not really a review is it?
Sojourn begins in Pompeii on, as Doctor Who calls it, Volcano Day. The top has blown, smoke is billowing, people are screaming and the lava is flowing, and flowing rather too quickly for Jacynda Lassiter’s taste because sh More...

I would most certainly read anything that Jana Oliver has set her hand to. She has the midas touch. Jana is an incredible storyteller and her ability to create and enthrall is phenomenal. I thoroughly enjoyed 'Sojourn' and so, am immediately immersing myself in, and devoting my time to reading the next two novels in the Time Rovers Series - as well as eagerly and most painfully awaiting the release of the third novel in Jana's Demon Trapper's Series.
Jana Oliver you're brilliant, it's More...

Jana Oliver is a plot-smith par-excellence. This book will leave you begging for the next two in the trilogy. Her research into the Ripper slayings is flawless, and her use of time-travel and a nice twist of paranormal is well devised without getting too "this is how things work". Just enough to suspend my disbelief and keep me turning pages. Well done!

This was really good. I highly recommend it for fans of Gail Carriger. Victorian Englan + shape shifters + time rovers + Jack the Ripper. Sojourn introduces us to the three main characters (all three are great!). The description is just wonderful. I can't call it steampunk, but I think it would appeal to steampunk audiences as well.
Good stuff!

I really enjoyed this story -- time travel, talking spiders, shape shifters and Jack the Ripper. How can that not be cool?

Just finished reading this one and the second one... and I'm sorry, I could not like these books if I tried. and well, I did try...
It really sucks because Jana is one of my favorite Authors (but different book series) and I just could not get into this... :(

Okay book.
I think the time aspect is a bit "weak". Not sure if I like the time period that she is writing in. I guess we will see how the rest of the series pan out.

I really enjoyed this book. The characters were interesting and I loved the whole sub plot of the shapeshifters. I've already started reading the 2nd in the series.
