Journeys Through Collection: Volumes 1-3 by James Talisman – Review by Netania Lim

Journeys Through Collection: Volume 1-3 by James Talisman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Book 1: This is a sci-fi/fantasy in which there are multiple storylines following different characters in different universes, realities and timelines. Each is very different and draws on various ancient mythologies which I really enjoyed. Although confusing to follow, I appreciated having to engage more with the story. I also liked the world-building, which was extremely complex, although it was at times more descriptive and wordy than immersive. The ending was definitely action-packed, and the weaving of the story becomes clear in the way the end is tied up but leaves you wanting more.

Book 2: Having read the first book in this series, I really enjoyed this second one. There’s so much action and it’s a really interesting take on consciousness and time and Multiverse, and I love how time travel is connected with reincarnation. I definitely found this book easier to get into than the first one, because the characters were already set up so the time/space conundrum was less confusing. The relationships between some of the characters could have been developed more, or more conflict added. An original, transportive story.
