![]() ![]() #Timepiece reviews series#So for those looking for some swoon in their sci fi, this is definitely the right series for them.īut don’t let the romance fool you, Hourglass and Timepiece are also some meaty science fiction with a uniquely developed look at time travel, paradoxes, and a cast of characters that each have their own unique abilities. I am not really a swooner and am often one who reads quickly through the romance to get to the action scenes, but Kaleb has a certain charm and pathos that even I found compelling he will definitely make teen girls swoon. In fact, Kaleb and Lily are such dynamic characters that I found I cared less about Emerson and Michael and I appreciated the shift in focus. ![]() Where Emerson and Michael seemed drawn together by the magnetic forces of their powers, Kaleb and Lily develop an attraction for each other based upon their thoughts and feelings and interactions. In many ways the relationship between Kaleb and Lily is much more organic and believable than any of the other relationships in this series, and it is exciting to see the push and pull and steady development of attraction between the two. In addition, Kaleb develops an interesting relationship with Emerson’s best friend, Lily. Kaleb is really forced to wrestle with some important questions as to who he is and what he is capable of doing, which makes for some good character development. But Kaleb, well, he is exactly the right person to be telling this story because he is the one with the highest amount of emotional investment. The shift in the point of view was jarring at first, it takes you a few pages to figure out who, exactly, is telling this story. But it turns out that Jack is actually the very person that our gang needs, so they must employ unique measures to try and find him – which is a lot harder to do when you can hide in time as well as a space. There are more people then we know interested in Emerson and the ability to move through time, very few of them with honorable motives. Jack, it turns out, is not the only player in town. To make matters worse, Jack is moving in and out of these rips and showing up in unexpected places wrecking havoc. The rules are changing and no one is quite sure what it means. Now, time rips are becoming more frequent, new people can see them, and sometimes you can interact with them. They say that every action causes a ripple of reactions throughout the universe, and the people from Hourglass have made earthquakes. Kaleb wasn’t dealing so well with his father’s death in Hourglass, but how will he deal with his resurrection? Now we get to see what it like to have mourned your father and see him live again. If you read Hourglass, you know that Emerson and Michael stepped back in time to save one man from death, and that man was Kaleb’s father. ![]() Timepiece takes off where Hourglass left us, although it is told from another character’s point of view. īe warned: spoilers for Hourglass ( previously reviewed), the first part of Myra McEntire’s series, abound in this review. They have altered history, and now it’s time to learn what the consequences are. ![]()
