Journeys Through SpaceTime (Journeys Through Book 1) by James Talisman – Review by Alexandra Nay

Journeys Through SpaceTime by James Talisman

Being a fantasy/sci-fi novel, Journeys Through SpaceTime is not my typical go-to choice for reading. However, I always love a good world-building series, and this book delivered.
Author James Talisman’s debut novel explores the classic Good vs Evil theme, in a very original yet comfortably familiar manner. As indicated by the title, the story takes place over different periods in time. Readers will follow many different characters, points of view, and story lines. All are joined by the over lying central idea that we are all One and connected in the universe.
Although I enjoy flipping back and forth between perspectives, this book does it consistently and it did take some time to establish the actual plot due to the level of character description used to develop so many points of view. The language and thinking of the characters is very formal, which may have been a tool used by the author to show how the characters are all connected in the MultiVerse. I was left with the impression that the book could be easily adapted into a TV series, as the chapters felt like episodes and many of the character’s story lines would make excellent separate books on their own.
By the end, I had fallen in love with many of the characters and looked forward to discovering how the story would unfold. I also look forward to reading book two.
