Time Crystal 1 - The Convergence
3 out of 5 Stars - An Average Read
The story takes place starting in the year 2000, time travels back as early as the year 834, then eventually traverses back to the year 2000. The shifts in time were expected and added depth to the story without causing much distraction.
The Time Crystal 1 was a semi enjoyable book to read. The book started out with Jason finding a powerful crystal in the middle of an Australian desert during a drug-induced search.
The next five or six chapters bounced around as the Eridon time traveler, Heath, searched for five humans that he needed to complete his quest of finding the crystal that Jason had located in the first chapter of the book.
The storylines behind each of the five humans (Katarine, Kirsty, Charlotte, Con, Aidan) that Heath searched for was interesting as they each were going through some sort of turmoil when Heath found them. As the story progressed, all but one of the humans (Aidan) played a very minor role in the storyline and plot. Each of them seemed to act more of filler material for the main story that was happening around them than actually driving the story forward.
Jason appeared in four or five chapters in the book, even though he had located the crystal and could have played a much larger role. His transformation from a normal human to being more powerful seemed to be lacking definition and detail as the story progressed. The author did attempt to show the human side of Jason as he struggled with his emotions as he became more powerful and interacted with his girlfriend and others that knew him prior to finding the crystal.
I would have liked to see more character development out of Katarine, Kirsty, Charlotte, and Con as this could have added much more depth to the overall story. This also would have allowed the author to let these four characters contribute more to the pace and overall outcome of the plot.
Two sex scenes serve no purpose in the overall flow of the story. Aidan’s bisexuality had little to do with the flow of the storyline and served as a distraction as I was reading.
The technical aspects of the book could use some additional work, as there are many spelling, tense, and word usage errors throughout the book. There are not so many errors that the book was unreadable, but there were enough to become slightly distracting at times.
If you enjoy a simple read that has basic elements of emotion, action, and drama, then this is an average read.
I would recommend the book to others to read if they enjoy time travel novels.
