This, the final (?) book in Jana Oliver's Time Rovers series, brings the events of the previous two books to an explosive conclusion - shapeshifters, time travelers, meddlers from a future beyond, anarchists, and all combinations thereof. As with the previous two books, the majority of the action takes place in Victorian London, with some events in "now-time" from the prospective of the time travelers ... well, the point of view characters who time travel ... there's a dizzying amount of crossover, but it all comes together with crystal coherence in the end.
For the first third of the book, however, I was disappointed by the flow. In Madman's Dance, Oliver does a good job summarizing while still moving the plot forward, but for most of this portion of the book, I felt the characters were almost exclusively reactive, responding to the situation without much agency of their own. I also felt just a bit disconnected from events - I think in good part because Jacynda, who is so vibrant in the first two, spends much of this one profoundly altered and just ... not herself. As a new reader, I would not have been drawn to her. As someone coming from the previous two books, I missed the old Jacynda terribly.
A potential word of caution: while, again, Oliver does a great job filling you in on previous plot points without bogging down in it (which is a skillful feat, given how much happens in those two books that is vital to this one), I think the book loses something for not being read with immediacy. If you're going to pick up this series, I'd recommend going straight through.
But it all turns with Jacynda, and when she gets her feet back underneath her, so does the book ... and the way she leaps back into action is a delight. Her audacity and the controlled (barely) chaos she creates are a pleasure to read. The plot device that damaged her at the end of Virtual Evil comes into play and has intriguing implications in the later portions of the book. The reader learns a lot more about the transitives (shapeshifters), their organization, the Lead Assassin who emerged from the shadows in Virtual Evil ... and their future.
The ending of this book is a pitch-perfect illustration of character and exactly the kind of denouement you would want for a time traveler. It made me want to stand up and cheer. I was never quite sure I bought the romantic storyline here, but I think that's personal rather than anything amiss with the way it was portrayed. Definitely recommended as an ultimately satisfying close to the series.

This was my least favorite. I had grown quite attached to Keats and Alistair, but they basically faded out in this book and Theo took center stage. I thought it seemed a little forced, so I didn't really get into that. Also, the whole thing with Cynda losing her mind seemed a little off. It didn't fit the story. By the end, I mostly just wanted that - an end.
The books were fun, but I think the whole series could've been about 200-300 pages shorter and been even better. I would've enjoyed the whole Theo relationship better if he had been around from the beginning. It just came out of nowhere. I don't know, maybe that's how it always works. (I don't consider this a spoiler, because it's pretty much evident from the beginning.)
PS: What is it about Victorian times that captures our fancy so much? Especially since most of the books, mock the culture? I don't blame Jacynda, in the end, who would want to live back in time?

Finished the entire trilogy on this date. Do not have or will buy the hard back or paperback, but this trilogy will be reread when I am a bit down and need some escape. I enjoyed the plot, the characters, and bits of interesting facts. I always enjoy a book that makes me wonder if a fact is true. the wonderment causes me to look things up on the net. then I silently curse the author when I travel down the rabbit hole and find related history or facts that spark my interest. loved the fact that there was humour, adventure, romance, time travel, no cursing with the name of Jesus, and no graphic sex. I highly recommended the entire series, especially for people who enjoy strong female characters. Miss Jacynda is truly inspiring.

This book really disappointed me. I don't understand why jacynda lost her memory. It didn't really fit in with the rest of the story. Also she had a love triangle with Alastair and Keats then all of a sudden they were no more and up popped theo morrisey. I perceived him to be a father figure to her and the next moment they are in love. I lost complete interest after that and really had to force myself to finish it. The demon trappers still remain my favorite series.

Sci-fi AND historical fiction, I loved it!
This is my first series of sci-fi and historical fiction. With action, intrigue and a splash of love sprinkled on top! Great combination of genres, never boring. I even adore the spider! Great writing, Jana💛💚

December 10, 2022Series Info/Source: This is the 3.5 book in the A Stitch in Time series. I bought a copy of this on ebook.
Thoughts: This was the longest installment of the series by far, but I enjoyed how everything played out. The second book in the series left us at a huge cliffhanger and we quickly jumped back into the story in this book.
Jacynda has been abandoned in Bedlam with no knowledge of who she is; she has been left with the mental capacity of a small child. Meanwhile, Keats is still trying to escape a hanging, and Victorian London is still facing a threat from missing explosives. Back in 2057, Morrisey is having issues of his own and is trying to save the Time Rovers while preventing a complete meltdown of history and the exposure of the transitive race.
This was a complicated story and it jumps around between characters a lot more than the previous books did. I do feel like this might have been better split into two books; it felt a bit long as is. However, the story is incredibly well done and I really continue to enjoy both the future and past timelines. The characters are incredibly well done and I enjoyed spending so much more time with Theo Morrisey.
The afterward was interesting. Oliver planned on this being some sort of torrid romance series, but it didn't go that way at all. This is more of an action-packed time travel mystery with a hint of romance. I thoroughly enjoyed this whole series and would love to see more books set in this world.
My Summary (5/5): Overall this was an amazing ending to an amazing series. I loved the plot, the world, and the characters here. The story is fast-paced and full of intriguing twists and turns. I would recommend to those who enjoy action-packed time travel mysteries. I would love to see more books set in this world. I loved this series just as much as Oliver's "Demon Trappers" series and would recommend it to those who were fans of that series as well.

Excellent Read!
I rarely review books, good, bad or indifferent. Especially those listed as YA Sci-Fantasy novels. And I didn't expect to review this series. In fact, I picked up Book 1 as a Goodreads freebie and then couldn't resist purchasing Books 2 & 3. I do have a penchant for well-written historical fiction and novels about time travel. I enjoy novels with believable heroines and well-developed characters whose authors can embed the story within history without twisting it totally out of shape. And lengthy stories of width and breadth with at least a few unexpected plot twists and a satisfying ending that is more than just an obvious, "Well, I've run out of ideas so I'll just end it here." And Jana Oliver's Time Rovers series delivered it all! Highly recommended to readers who love a Goodread!

Terrific Book!
I’m not great at reviews But here goes; This is the third in a terrific series on time travel, which surprisingly does NOT confuse the heck out of you, but keeps you intrigued through each of the three books to the end. I gladly compare this author to David Eddings, it is the story is just as well done as the Bulgaria’s.

Nothing is easier than to denounce the evildoer; nothing is more difficult than to understand him.” - Fyodor Dostoevsky
She’d made sure to take the necessary precautions: proper manners, nicest dress, pistol tucked in pocket. Who says I don’t know how to act like a lady?
“Nothing to tell. The bad guys didn’t win this round. That’s all that matters.”
“But what about the next time?” Fletcher asked, meeting her gaze.
Cynda rose, Gladstone in hand. “Then it’ll be another madman’s dance.”

Review 6 out of 5 (I give 10 out of 5 for the series!)
This is the third and final book in the Time Rovers series.
History is being threatened by a multi-century plot to bring the Transitive shape-shifters to power. Only Jacynda can set everything back on course, but that will be difficult. She's been abandoned in a Victorian asylum with no memory of who she is. Her friends are also facing adversity. Dr. Alastair Montrose is caught between uncovering the truth, and foes who want it kept hidden. Detective-Sergeant Jonathon Keats is still on the run for a woman's murder. Keats's arch enemy can prove his innocence, but he's not about to come forward; not with his daughter in danger. Can Jacynda get her memories back in time to help thwart an anarchists cache of explosives from creating the biggest conflagration since the Great Fire in 1666? If not, there will be no sanctuary from the Madman's Dance.
I absolutely LOVED this series. Jacynda is such a strong character. I sometimes wish I was as brave as her. There is also a new character to add to the cast, in the shape of Jacynda's new boss. He's a mysterious man, but as the story unfolds, I find myself falling for his charms. I hope you do too. As I have said in my previous reviews of Jana's books, I love her writing style. It flows with such passion and gives me, the reader, a whole new appreciation for the written word. It was a bittersweet moment when I finished this book, as I was sad that it was coming to an end. I would love to go on another adventure with Jacynda; if she ever decides she is ready for a new one, that is. If you have not had a chance to read any of these books, or the Demon Trappers series by Jana, then I say "What are you waiting for?". This is a fantastic epic adventure, with a roller-coaster pace; there are twists and turns galore! I am now excitedly looking forward to reading Jana's new Demon Trappers novel, Forgiven, which is due for release here in the UK at the beginning of March

When I read the first book of the Time Rovers Trilogy, I thought it was going to be a typical historical romance with a mystery and a time travel twist, but still largely a Victorian era romance. I was pleased when it turned out to be stronger on the mystery than the romance, and then a bit mystified when the romance wasn't furthered much in the second book - but happy that there was much more to the story than that. Now in this third book, it totally takes off in a direction I didn't anticipate. At first I wasn't sure if I liked it, but it grew on me and I feel much more satisfied having finished the story the way it is than if it had conformed to the formula that I expected.
The part I didn't really like is Jacynda's state of mind for the first couple hundred pages. She is basically out of the game and I was impatient for her to get back to her usual, feisty self - and back to 1888. Her time healing in 2057 does serve a purpose, though, and brings that time period much more into play. Even though I definitely preferred the Victorian storyline, it helps with that huge tangled cross-time mystery that built up in the second book.
So back in 1888, the timeline is completely falling apart, and with Jacynda gone it falls to Alistair to try to prove Keats' innocence and get to the bottom of the various intrigues. The trial scenes are totally gripping, and the ongoing mystery kept me involved for 450 pages.
Unfortunately, it means that there are now two distinct storylines, and if you were looking forward to the trio being closer again you're likely to be disappointed. But in case you're wondering, romance does finally come into it in this book, just not in the way I expected. I love it when authors defy my expectations.
This is definitely the conclusion to the current mystery, but I don't feel like it's the end of Jacynda's story. I really hope there will be more of her adventures in time someday.

I really enjoyed this book, the last in the series for now as Jana has said at the end of the book that this wasn't the last of Jacynda's story just a rest stop for now!
I love who she finally chose even if it wasn't who I'd hope she'd choose. I thought it was the best choice for her in the end and I hope the guys will find matches and that we will see them in future books (if there are any) as well. After all I still adore Alastair and John! I'd love if Jacynda returned to visit them to find they'd been elected to the twenty and Sephora as well! I also hope that something can be done for Defoe to restore his mind as I liked him a lot.
We had a surprise with Satyr as well and I have to say, even though he's an assassin who tried a number of times to kill Cynda and who inadvertently framed Keats for murder destroying the future he was meant to have, I really like him! He's not a bad guy despite his profession and he has a real code of honour.
I also grew to really like inspector Ramsey in this book, we actually got to get his narrative and get in his head a little and he turned out to be a really good guy, not as bad as he appeared in Keats viewpoint before the events in this book!
There were a few twists and surprises in the book and I really loved how it all turned out for everyone in the end, well most everyone anyway, there are a few events I wished didn't have to occur! I think there is still issues to resolve with the Futures and that that thread isn't quite done with, just the current story arc within that thread, whether it will remain in the 1800's or move to another time period remains to be seen but personally I hope it stay in the 1800's so that the characters we met in 1888 can still be present!

A very satifsying conclusion to Oliver's Time Rover's series. This was in fact my favorite book of the series--the plot was wound so tight and the characters were up against so many dire obstacles that it was very difficult to put the book down when it was time to go to sleep. And although I finished Madman's Dance several days ago now, I still find myself thinking about Jacynda and her friends....

August 4, 2015Excellent Series, can't wait for more
This is a review of the entire three book series.
First, if you are a fan of BBC America's "Ripper Street" you will feel right at home.
The action is top notch, the drama is real ; the scenery makes you feel like you are there.
I came to care about all the major characters and couldn't wait to get into the next book.
The only thing I didn't like, was that it ended way too soon!
More Jacynda, Theo, Keats & Alastair please

This picks up right after events in Virtual Evil. Jacynda is broken after the attack and Theo is trying to help her find herself again in 2058.
Back in 1888 the timeline continues to veer off track. Jonathan and Alastair are trying to resolve things but things are taking a turn for the worse and no-one is safe.
Will they be able to set things back on the right path or will our future end because of changes in the past?

4.5✨
43% through the book, I stopped reading. No particular reason. I assume I was in a slump for personal reasons. But once I made the decision to get back to reading. It didn’t take long for me to be hooked again with this infuriating but exciting storyline. The final book wrapped up all the missing pieces, and brought all the emotions. Amazing series overall. I enjoyed this book the most out of the trilogy.

I was looking for something quite light and easy to read after tackling some epic Ken Follett and Jana Oliver did not let me down. Time travel that puts the heroine right in the middle of Jack the Ripper's Victorian London and into her own mystery. Really enjoyable. I think I'd love to be doing a bit of time tourism myself. Hmmm, where to go?
February 15, 2011
The last book really made the whole series work. You can see the writer becoming more sure of herself as she developed the series. Good work, Jana.

This series got more and more complicated with each book. It was an interesting story with many twists and turns. Not one of the best series I've read, but I enjoyed it none the less.

This book kept me up all night. An excellent read and a great finish to the series!
