Way to finish a series!
Mostly in trilogies we've noticed the order goes from Awesome to Awful, mostly last books disappoint us but not here. Nuh-uh.
In Hourglass series the case was completely opposite. Hourglass, the first one was an okay to good book with a very different concept but it just didn't do the trick, there was something missing. But a friend told me to continue the series and read the 2nd book, Timepiece, so I did. And it was bloody amazing. It was narrated by a different character ...more

Please, let it be Michael the narrator. I missed more of him in Timepiece. If not let's go back to Em and have lots of Em and Michael moments :)

Meh, not awful but not great either. I was bored for the most part, the plot and worldbuilding was all over the place, and I didn't know what the hell was going on half the time.
-I was kind of annoyed that Infinityglass focused on two new POV's, I would have preferred to read about Emerson and Michael again — they were the most entertaining characters in the series (though that's not saying much).

Probably the best book of the saga. The characters are really witty and the plot more interesting than ever. I would give it three and a half stars if it was possible.

When I read Timepiece last year, I was slightly disappointed because I loved Hourglass but Timepiece didn't really leave a big impression on me. In actuality, before I started Infinityglass, I tried to remember what happened in the previous two novels and came COMPLETELY blank for Timepiece while I remembered a ton of what happened in Hourglass. Even with that, I had to give Infinityglass a try because a) it is the last book in the series, and b) Timepiece was still good, just a bit of a letdown

Infinityglass is a strong, satisfying ending to the Hourglass series. I'm pleased with how things turned out but I'm super sad to say goodbye to the eclectic cast of characters. I'm a definite fan of Myra McEntire and I can't wait to see what she does next.
Infinityglass branches away from both Hourglass and Timepiece in the setting. Infinityglass brings readers to New Orleans and it's a fabulous setting. I've wanted to go to New Orleans for quite some time and Infinityglass just made me even mor ...more

I was going to go ahead and finish the series, even though I only gave Timepiece two stars. After all, it's only a trilogy. Well, I made it to page 71 and couldn't do it anymore. It simply is not well written, in my opinion, particularly the characters. Dune is supposed to be a guy, a fact which I had to keep reminding myself of, because the female author cannot write from a guy's perspective--just, no. Second of all, the Hallie character is poorly written. She's a supposed genius, but a genius

Old Update:
After Timepiece I am really expecting anything from this series. Who will narrate next? Let's take a look at the contestants. Maybe Ava? She is pretty fucked up right now, it would be interesting to see what is in her mind, but unless she has a pretty big role in the future book I find this not happening. Will Em come back? Will Kaleb continue? Or will Michael take the reins? Maybe the'll get a new cat and then the cat will take over narration, after all they can see ...more

Oh My God! I am love this series! I love the characters and the writing of it. It took me a few days to finish but I finished it. I could read the whole series all over again. It is so good. I just wish there was more in the series. I just want cry because there are no more books in the series. I am so sad!

3.5 stars.. This was a quick and entertaining read. I took one star off solely for the fact that the main characters from the first book played a very, very small role in this one (boo!) Petty thing to do but IT'S A SERIES NOT A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT BOOK OKAY. I fell in love with those characters, and the main characters in this book were decent but just didn't add up. Took half a star away because I felt the dialogue was slightly choppy, and the book was overall just a little too cheesy for my

I finally finally read Myra McEntire's Infinityglass! It's been eons since I last read the first two books of this trilogy and there was no recaps of those to be read since the series is rather old. This final book is already over four years old. Diving into a series finale like this practically blind was a challenge. Luckily, I do remember that the first two books all dealt with different characters, same group of people and whatnot so it worked a little in my favor except that I pretty much kn

"Infinityglass", the final book in Myra McEntire's "Hourglass Trilogy", follows the struggles and romance of Hallie, a dancer who wields the power of transmutation (shapeshifting), and Dune, the silent, nerdy member of the Hourglass organization. Rips (visions of the past; think ghosts) are widening, encompassing worlds instead of just people, due to the Hourglass' meddling with the timeline causing a flux in the space/time continuum, and the only thing that can possibly restore balance is the I

From the first few moments of Infinityglass, it's clear that this is going to be a different sort of story from the first two books in the series. For one thing, as with Timepiece, we have a new narrator -- but this time, there's two of them, and one of them is someone we've never met. And for another thing, it moves out of Ivy Springs, Tennessee, to the bustling streets of New Orleans, Louisiana.

Infinityglass wraps up the Hourglass trilogy with different characters at the helm. 17 year old Hallie Girard (Chronos), and Samoan Dune Ta'ala (Hourglass) team up when it is discovered by Lily Garcia that Hallie is the Infinityglass. It is Hallie's abilities that can actually heal the time continuum rips that have rapidly progressed thanks to the machinations of Teague and Jack Landers.

Sometimes, books are more than just books.
I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the day I watched my first episode of Doctor Who* was also the same day that Hourglass arrived in my mailbox.

Opening Sentence: “The only reason you want my help is so you can see my girls in a corset,”I said.”
The Review:
The third Hourglass novel sticks with the previous two novels and offers to new POV. Hallie, who we soon find out is the Infinityglass and Dune who is Hourglass’s expert on the Infinityglass. Hallie can change her appearance, which is why she has been pulling jobs for dad with the help of her best friend, Poe. ...more

Infinityglass is the the third and final book in the Hourglass trilogy.
There will be spoilers from the first two books in the series.
In Hourglass Emerson was the narrator. In Timepiece Kaleb was the narrator. Now in Infinityglass we have two new narrators, Hallie and Dune. Hallie is Paul Girard's daughter. Dune is part of the Hourglass gang.
The idea to change the narrators in each book is interesting. The idea to use two narrators who were only minor characters in the other books is even more in ...more

Infinityglass is the final book in the Hourglass series by Myra McEntire. Check out my review for Hourglass and Timepiece if you haven’t already done so!

Infinityglass sees the continuation of the battle between those who thirst for power and those who would thwart them, but this time from the dual first-person perspectives of Hourglass member Dune and newly-discovered infinityglass Hallie. Like Timepiece before it, Infinityglass proves to be a bit more complex both in terms of the space-time continuum and with regard to Hallie’s abilities with the rips. There are times when the explanations for how she’s able to close the rips are fleeting and t

A very nice ending to the series. Everything gets tied up pretty well.
Dune's powers never do seem as interesting to me as the other's powers. I thought he would really use them to make some super cool thing happen (and, like, they were necessary for the thing to happen at the end of the book. But it still wasn't nearly as epic as I had pictured it being). I just felt like he was going to get more responsibility or something because of his power.

Infinityglass is the third and final book in the Hourglass trilogy. I absolutely adore this series. When I read Hourglass back in April 2012, I was going through a bit of a reading slump. I was so addicted to fanfiction at the time, that I was completely missing some amazing published books. Hourglass sucked me out of my slump, and blew me away. And in June 2012, when Timepiece came out, I just knew this series would go down as an all time favorite.
