I'm glad you didnt say it was a pageturner...you know, considering how long you took to read it! Alright, just kidding :)


Rysa promises us the sequel in October this year btw.

Question #5: Do you think the author's depiction of the Cyrists is believable?

I read this book (obviously) years after the group did but I wanted to weigh in anyway. It was perfect timing that my husband and I watched the latest episode of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver while I was finishing up this book. On it, he examines televangelists and their ridiculous claims in order to achieve wealth and power. It reminded me so much of the Cyrists I couldn't help but laugh at how true it all is, and unfortunate.

The relationship between Trey and Kate bothered me, and I thought that was one of the most clumsy aspects of this book. He immediately believed her far fetched story and even though she gave him some evidence, I find it hard to believe that any boy worth Kate's time wouldn't have been more skeptical. After a time, after accepting that he wasn't going to go away, I started to like them together. The author gave them things to do which were realistic, like buying Kate onion rings or using Facetime to keep in touch. So I feel slightly bad for wanting her to explore the relationship with Kiernan more. There was just something so much more exciting about that story.

I agree that there are a few things here and there that don't make sense. (view spoiler)[How did Kiernan go back again and again and again to save Kate, most of the time failing? Wouldn't he have run into himself, or into her? Also, how does he have memories of an alternate timeline with Kate when he isn't enclosed in a safe force field/ bubble? (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[When I read mention of H.H. Holmes, I immediately got creeped out. I read about him about a year ago and his story is truly the stuff of nightmares. So his presence made the whole climax of the book especially terrifying for me. (hide spoiler)]

If you want more Kiernan and Kate-read the Novella Time's Echo

I went ahead and read the other two books in the series. I liked the second book the best, but it was definitely an enjoyable ride and I'm sad it is over. Did anyone else finish it off?

[Debbie]

I literally finished Time's Divide last night. Excellent series! Now I am reading Time's Mirror. I don't want to be done with this Chronos world yet. I might try some of the Amazon Worlds stories, too, The Chronos Files: Time Burned or The Chronos Files: Time Rift

[Tej]

Oh is this a complete trilogy? Everything wrapped up in the third book? I only read the first book back when it was a group read which I enjoyed but im weary these days of waiting on so many chronicles to continue their stories as when each book is released, I forgets what happened in the last.

[Samantha]

Yes, it is a trilogy. There are a few Kindle editions too but since I don't have a Kindle or any plans to get one I won't be reading them.

[Tej]

Thanks Samantha, I'll try make this a priority then as I did enjoy the first book and can still vividly remember the events despite it being a while ago since I read it...which I guess is credit to Rysa for writing it memorably enough!

[Heather(Gibby)]

Just started Time's Edge. I am listening to it on audio. I don't usually listen to time travel books, as the changing time lines an be confusing, but I figure since I read the first one and am familiar with the storyline and characters, I would give it a try in audio.

[Nancy]

Is it good? I liked book 1 but haven't gotten to book 2 yet.

[Heather(Gibby)]

Yes Nancy it is very good, but there are a lot of competing timelines, so I would recommend reading rather than listening.

I have about 20 minutes of "reading" time left. I will post a review when I am done.

[Nancy]

I don't listen to audio books but that is good to know for those that do.
