Compelling, heartbreaking, and relentless.

Fissure is the second book from Sunder series, by Kristin McTiernan. I have to say that I’ve read this without reading the first one and it works perfectly as a stand-alone book. I was able to navigate through the story and the characters without feeling that I don’t have all the information I needed or that something is missing. Great job from the author there!

As a follow up to Asunder-A Time Travel Book, Kristin McTiernan has done it again in book two of the series, Fissure. Paul Canaan is the main protagonist here, battling his personal demons, and must do what he knows is right. With fully fleshed out characters like Shannan, Monica, and Gabriel and his wife, Reyna, the author successfully pulls you in to everyone's individual story, and wraps them all together in a compelling, and eminently readable book. Issues like trust and compassion run at yo

Fun action packed time traveling journey
I found this book Fissure to be a fun read with a good storyline and a pace that kept me turning the pages to see what was going to happen next. In our busy day to day lives, it is always nice to be able to take a break and relax. I found this story met that need extremely well. I found myself lost in the story relating to the emotion and feelings of we developed characters. This story is about Paul Canaan, a man who gave up everything for the success he h ...more

GOOD REVIEWS: Seeking South Asian Reviewers for Dystopian novel | 1 | 5 | Nov 06, 2017 12:07PM |
At 17, I had to choose between joining a convent or the Marines. The mother superior at my convent was a veteran and recommended I serve my country. Thank God for that advice because if you've read even one thing I've written, you know that #nunlife is not for me. I write about women in weird situations and my goal is to write at least one book in every spec-fic subgenre before I kick the bucket.
