My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Strap yourself in for a ride!

Book 1
Cleverly written sci-fi adventure
This was an exceptional piece of writing. So many layers that one could easily become lost in the intricate web of the multi-verse. The author was very good at providing moments of grounding within each chapter that really helped the reader to connect and gather their understanding. There is a lot within these pages but it all needs to be appreciated as a whole package – so reading on is a must as it all ties in together. As I finished the book it I felt like I had been on an epic journey – just as the title says.

Book 2
Sci-fi fantasy with punch!
Wow – this goes from strength to strength. The book takes off right where book 1 finished and does not stop. I devoured each of the words and just wanted to keep going. The intricate layers are excellently interwoven and lead to an ultimate climax. The characters I had really connected with in the first book really come unto their own as things start to align. Building on my understanding of the multiverse from book 1, I found this easier to follow. There is a cheeky little cliffhanger at the end which leaves the door open for more to come – Excellent!

Book 3
Creative, clever and cosmic
The 3rd book in a brilliant series. Set in the multiverse the trials and ventures from the previous books comes to a magnificent climax and satisfying but open ended conclusion. This author is extremely talented at weaving a multi-layered universe that is intriguing and easy to navigate. From page one it is all systems go.
This is a must-read from beginning to end.
I really hope there is more to come.

The Journeys Through Collection is the first series from James Talisman and I definitely think it will be the first of many from this talented author. I am not usually a Sci/Fi reader but after reading this amazing boxset with such vivid worlds and creatively written characters I might just be starting to become a fan. To get this old girl to try something new is no small feat so thanks Mr Talisman for showing me old dogs can in fact learn new tricks.
I will say I struggled at first with the amount of changes from one place/ set of characters to another…I guess I should actually call that the Multiverse… but that is totally on me. I kept with it and found my flow with the story and I am so glad I did. If this kind of story telling is a challenge for you also, I strongly suggest sticking with it as you will be rewarded with an action packed, imaginative and phenomenally well crafted story.
Having the boxset is definitely the way to go so that you can can just keep reading. You won’t want to wait between books! All I can say is get reading now!

The Journeys Through collection was such a fantastic read! The box set contains three full length novels. I was instantly pulled into the stories through the author’s imaginative ad creative writing style. The storyline is complex but I really found that I was able to become fully absorbed into what I was reading. I’m not usually a fan of sci-fi stories but I did actually really enjoy this one and I am definitely looking forward to reading more!
The characters in the story were really interesting to read about, and being told from multiple points of view enabled me to begin to understand the role each of them played in the story. The story as whole was beautifully detailed and I could definitely tell how much work the author had out into the story.

All three books were great to read and you could see the difference in the writing over the three books, not that the writing was bad in anyway but each book was better than the one before in my opinion. The authors creativity really shone through in his writing and all three books were really enjoyable to read.

‘Journeys Through Collection: Volumes 1-3′ contains all three books in the Journeys Through series by James Talisman. I love a boxed set, getting multiple books at a time- that’s always a winner in my eyes.
Mr. Talisman has crafted a wonderful sci-fi adventure story full of imagination and creative touches. His world building is quite original- and gives his stories an extra element of intrigue. The adventures are well-woven and thought provoking- easily pulling me in to become part of all the action. But along with the action and adventure, Mr. Talisman also explores themes of consciousness, relativity, spirituality, ancient wisdoms, time travel, reality, the multiverse, connection, and more.
Three stories in one- now that’s a great deal!
Just to give you a taste of what to expect, here is my individual review for Book One:
‘Journeys Through SpaceTime’ is the debut novel, and first instalment in the ‘Journeys Through’ series by James Talisman. This sci-fi/fantasy story has so much going on in it and quite a lot of characters to keep track of. The storyline is multi-layered and complex, with multiple worlds and time-lines. The weaving of the story takes us on an action-packed adventure- where good vs evil, danger abounds, hidden agendas come to light, and a bit of ‘political’ manoeuvring takes place.
As this story spans space, and time- and introduces various principles/concepts to do with consciousness, universal energy and wisdom- it begins to build and explain the dynamics of this MultiVerse. The story is told from multiple points of view- which gives the reader a fully immersive reading experience whilst helping us to better understand the dynamics of each ‘layer’ of the storyline.
There’s definitely a mysteriousness to the storyline, which adds to the overall intrigue. It’s very interesting, if not a little wordy in places. All the ‘action’ in the various ‘worlds’, and with so many characters playing their part in this epic story; as well as all the switching back and forth between worlds and POV’s- made things a little confusing for me in the beginning. But as I got more of a handle on the story, characters, and flow- I really enjoyed the journey.
There are factors of the story which had a ‘Roman Legion’ feel, while other parts felt more Egyptian- with space and technological components, some Japanese Samurai like elements; as well as delving into some spirituality and consciousness concepts, & then the space and time factors, and conspiracies/plots/hidden agendas thrown in for good measure- and this story really took off. It will both captivate you, while making you think.
There is plenty of suspenseful moments which had me flipping the pages to discover how everything would play out. I loved that while a few of the threads were tied up at the end- we are left knowing that there is more to come- and plenty more to discover and unravel in the following instalment/s.

Looking forward to seeing where we go from here.
Happy Reading!

Thank you, James Talisman!

Journeys Through Collection (volumes 1-3)
By James Talisman
Review by Susan Ratchford
5 stars

Book 1: Six very different people from vastly different multiverses (including but not limited to, a sword masters son Hirisho, a reptilian humanoid scientist Tysson, a Co-councilor for a Utopian world Rashella, and an ordinary college student named Matt) all hear the same mysterious voice inside their head. Godlike mentors appear to each of them and all must embark on separate quests and use their newly acquired wisdom of all creation and reality to fight for and protect the sanctity of all of their worlds.
This book was enthralling, a must read! James Talisman truly transports you through different worlds with his vivid imagery and thought provoking characters. Each one so different but expertly brought to life through his imaginative writing. This fast paced novel had me captivated from the first page with twists and turns I never saw coming. His blend of ancient ideals and futuristic concepts bring a delightful duality to the genre. I can’t wait to read the next book in such a creative series!
Book 2: With the final battle approaching, Matt and his two friends must learn to travel throughout time to obtain powerful artifacts needed to defend their world from an oncoming attack. The reptilian humanoid leader and his followers are planning total destruction. Traversing through many famous and dangerous eras of Earth’s past, and even its future, Matt and friends try to collect what is needed for a secret organization’s plan to save the planet.
I absolutely loved this book! James Talisman has a way with detail and imagery in a series with such vastness, that he makes it so easy to picture everything! I could really feel the bond between the characters! The time travel segments to different eras had me reading as fast as I could just to find out what would happen next! The incorporation of mythology and Atlantis as well as the way that the ending reveals itself is as unexpected as it is satisfying. It really makes you think!
Book 3: The multiverse is in danger, entire universes are to be erased from existence. Ancient twins Matt and Rashella must journey through vast worlds, universes, and even their own spiritual consciousness to stop an ancient prophecy and rescue their mentors from a grand illusion. Tensions rise as the pair prepare for their biggest battle yet. Will the power of unity triumph over the former celestial ruler, the devil who believes that only the truly supreme shall rule? Or will universes collapse, crumble under the weight of the crimson “god’s” greed?
What a wonderful read! I love this series so much and as always I was hooked from page one!!!! Such an engaging story makes you feel like anything is possible!! I really liked seeing where the characters are and how they have grown throughout. I felt really connected to them through James Talisman’s writing. He builds beautiful and vast worlds with such striking characters. My favorite part was how the Spirit Servitors were described! Just a fantastical book that blends the Ancient with the Futuristic in a fun and unique way. It’s both an epic and satisfying read!!!! I cannot say enough about this book, I highly recommend it!!!!

A lot of thought went into the creation of these books. Having them all in a collection is great because you can binge read all the way through! There are many layers to the story so it gives you an immersive experience. Interesting characters, great worldbuilding. Loved the spiritual aspects woven through.
You’ll definitely want to read through the series several times to soak up all there is to be absorbed. Subsequent readings will have you noticing things you didn’t before, and give you a deeper understanding of the story.
An epic reading adventure!

Journeys Through SpaceTime is the first novel in the Journeys Through series. At first it was a little bit confusing when trying to keep track on who is who. The author introduced too many different people all at once. As time went on and more things were written, it got easier.

The book is about a multiverse with several different peoples point of view. They were all written so differently that it held on to my interest even in the initial confusion. As time went on, I fell in love with most of the characters.

I have heard about multiverse before, especially through The Flash from DC but this novel took it to a whole new level in a good way! It took the classic good vs evil and threw in different species, different types of environments all mixed together in this universe.

I am not a sci-fi fan when it comes to space or things of a similar genre so when a few characters were from Earth, it made it more enjoyable for me. If you are a huge fan of sci-fi then this is the book for you! Even if you are not a sci-fi fan, I still recommend this novel.

 

Journeys Through TimeSpace is the second book in the Journeys Through series. The book is split across multiple worlds in a Multiverse, just like the first book in the series. I have to say I enjoyed this book much more than the first one. I found the first one a bit confusing to keep track of all the characters and places. In the second one, there are less characters to keep track of which made it easier for me to connect to the characters.

My favorite characters were the three friends from college. Their friendship was strong and could hold up to any challenge thrown their way. Matt and Julia’s relationship as a couple was very cute and romantic. When the third friend was around, he was not treated as a third wheel, they were all just close friends.

This book once again had everything you look for in a sci-fi genre, space, adventure, multiverse, time travel. The author’s writing is very descriptive and it makes you feel like you could be there. I would recommend this book to any sci-fi lover.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Journeys Through AllCreation is the third and final book in the Journeys Through series. This book continues where books one and two left off and follows in more detail the lives of our heroes as they try to save the Multiverse from disappearing forever.

An ancient prophecy has predicted that an intelligent and powerful being plans to use the powers contained in the Dokkaebi-of-all-Creation to destroy various universes that make up the Multiverse. Once again, our heroes must come from their different universes to save the Multiverse from being destroyed. However, each of our heroes must first come to the realization that their universe is not the only one that exists. They must train hard and prepare for this battle or risk the Multiverse disappearing forever. It becomes a confrontation between the Gods and the Mortals as they fight to save all creation. Who will win this battle?

The author has once again done an amazing job of creating lovable characters along with some not so lovable ones. You find yourself rooting for good to win over evil. Each Universe is described so vividly along with each character that you feel like you are right there with them. This is an amazing series that I recommend reading from Book One to understand the full story.

4 Stars!

This is not my usual genre but sometimes I really just love a good sci-fi read. There are rare times when an author can keep me entertained and interested and this series does just that.

This first book is so complex with many different characters and worlds intermingling, but it all works, and comes together nicely while still being able to follow along easily. The storyline was gripping and very fun to get into, and I love a book that makes me feel as if I am living in the same time, or space etc. The action, suspense and adventure kept me enthralled waiting to see what would happen next to each individual character. I really enjoyed the beginning that had a layout of all the different worlds, the characters we would meet from those different worlds and how they were connected to the other characters. It helped me put a lot together in my own mind. I was impressed with how easy it was to follow along with each journey because at the start of a new story, the world in which we were being transported to was announced.

Time travel is always a fun topic and I became very immersed in the story of 3 friends, Matt, Julia and Dan, on a treasure hunt you could say. The different cities, places and worlds they travel to, are nicely written and it feels as if I were along for the ride myself. The story is just so interesting and packed full, I was sometimes confused but was easily able to jump right back in. I love how each location is mentioned before going into the next part of the story, it really helped me keep up with what was happening, and the list in the beginning showing all the characters and what world they are from was really nice.

I have been a loyal fan of this gifted author, since book 1. I was hooked, and fell in love with this series with no hesitation at all! The story is a treat for the mind, along with a visual experience for the eyes, that is so amazing saying extraordinary is an understatement!

The series has adventure, science, space, and of course characters you truly love, and some you truly hate. I love that each book is a different adventure, but the relations to each book in the series are undeniable. I enjoyed each one differently. Each one was impossible not to love. Each one took myself on a journey of its own that was a self discovery. To what it would be, well I did not know until my adventure started as I read the book! I love that the author has created such a series that is so captivating and mesmerizing as this one! This is by far one of the greatest works of writing I have ever gotten to read, I can not compare this series to another, its indescribable. It is a journey that you really must experience for yourselves. You need to read this series if you haven’t, its something will give you feelings and excitement as you read, and leave you thinking about the books as you finish them. Amazing and compelling series!

Love this series with a passion of my own heart! It has everything in it for myself to enjoy in different ways. I find the series offers a variety of different sensations to please very kind of preference for every reader. I love it, and I think very much you should read this series if you haven’t. It is not one to be missed by a long shot! Amazing author that really makes a story come to life wit all the right elements! Love it! Read the series and check out this author if you have not already! Freaking out of this world series!

This is a truly wonderful series. You’ll find it fascinating, original and unique. You’ll embark on a journey that will take you through the multiverse as the good guys battle to save the universe from evil. I was sucked into book 1 and it got better the farther into the series I went. There were twists and turns where you didn’t expect them. The characters were so well-written that you could swear you knew some of them. It is a very engaging series which is why I would give it more than a 5 if I could. Well worth the purchase. Highly recommend.

This is a great box set of three great books by an awesome author. Each book is well written and keeps you engaged throughout. They take you on an adventure through a journey of a MultiVerse that is a stake. I enjoyed each of these books and how the characters took me on an adventure that kept me coming back for more. The author brought each story to life with his writing style and his attention to details. They are realistic stories that are full of action and fast paced. There is alot going on in each story but the author did a great job of keeping my attention. They are entertaining and hard to put down. This is an author that I never hesitate to pick up because I know what I am getting when I pick up his books. I highly recommend this boxset to find out who wins this war.

This is an amazing boxset filled with fantasy and adventure. The stories keep you gripped and author does an amazing job at character and world building. I got completely lost in this Sci fi adventure.

Journey through spacetime

This is an amazing adventure story. The multiverse has several worlds, all with their own stories and battles.

On every world there is a battle between good and evil, however what they dont realise is that they are all connected to each other, and they need to work together in order to win this battle.
Will good win over evil this time or is the evil force too strong to be beaten.

I really enjoyed this story once i got into it and kept track of the characters and how they are all linked. Its a really well written story and the characters are captivating.

Journey through Time Space

This is the 2nd book in the series and what an adventure. Like the first book it is a multi-level story so you need to keep on the ball as the different stories happen and twist together.

There are 2 different treasure hunts happening both with different outcomes.

The reptilian humanoids are searching for something to make their new weapon work. And the 3 college students, Matt, Dan and Julie are set out to learn ancient skills all centred about unity and the belief anything is possible if you are a united front.

Matt is the Ancient One and his role in all this is to safe earth. Will he and his friends learn the skills they need in time or will the other treasure hunters reach their goal first.

Its a great adventure full of twists and turns. Really well written and gripping from the first page.

Journey through allcreation

This is the 3rd book in the Journeys through series and they just keep getting better and better. I highly recommend reading all these books in order so that you understand the full story and also don’t get overwhelmed by the amount of characters. The author does an amazing job making each character unique and giving them all a purpose and identity which means the reader can easily tell them apart.
This is a great adventure from the beginning. It’s fast paced and a story or good vs evil in a fight to save planet earth and all the other planets in the Multi Verse.
There is a prophecy that needs to be understood to figure out how to save them all but with the forces of evil getting more powerful and 2 of the important people trapped this leaves the fate of everything in the hands of Matt and his other friends from across the Multiverse.
The connection between the characters is also really unique such as Matt and Rashella being twins in a different time and seeing how that connection plays out even though now they are from 2 separate worlds.

This is definately a book for someone who loves a story that will grab a hold of you and not let go. You find yourself getting lose in the journey through time and space and fighting to save your world from a threat you didn’t even know existed.

Journeys Through SpaceTime by James Talisman is the first book in the Journeys Through series. This is my first book by Talisman and I can already see that I will be looking to read more books by him in the future. The characters and scenery are beautifully descriptive and easily seen in your mind’s eye. This is definitely a work of passion for Talisman. The story plotline is that of a sci-fi story. It has all the good characteristics with time travel and multiple worlds all rolled up inside. There are some teaching moments within the story to set the story up to the next level as well. There are some twists and turns which keep the story moving and interesting. There were moments when I needed to revisit something I just read because I moved too quickly to get to the next page. So my warning is to really focus on what is happening because it is that amazing of a story. I cannot wait to see what Talisman has in store for us next.

James Talisman hit another home run with this Journeys Through TimeSpace. I highly recommend reading book one so you have some back story and introduction to the characters. This is a Sci-Fi story but there is a lot more than that going on. There are many different layers to the story you are about to read. It is packed full of action and you find yourself turning the pages faster to see what is coming down the line at you. The characters are complex and engaging. I felt at home with them. I was on an adventure with them. I highly recommend this journey and hope you enjoy this story as much as I have.

Its really hard not to fall in love with these amazing characters in this book, they are so enjoyable to read about. This series is really unique in its own way, traveling throughout the multiverse. It really makes you wonder and think about everything that is going on. This book was really amazing and very entertaining.

The third installment in this series was the character development I was looking for in book two. Although this can be read as a stand alone book, I highly recommend reading the first two books in the series to get the full understanding of this book and all that it builds up to. Matt, The Ancient One, and his ancient twin Rashella, are called upon to help save the many universes against Diavolos who seeks to go against the Celestial ranks. This is an exciting adventure of love, uncertainty, fear, and so much action. The style the book is written allows the reader to easily jump from one point in time to another without major confusion. This was definitely my favorite in the series and the ending left the possibility for more to come, I hope so.

Journeys Through AllCreation is the third book in the Journeys Through series. I will recommend reading the previous two books before reading this book. This continues the fantastic sci-fi fantasy series with a new adventure. The characters are fun and exciting, and I enjoyed the search for the artifact. There is a lot of world-building and description involved, but it adds so much to the tremendous ongoing story. I highly recommend this book and entire series to anyone who needs a new story to delve into who enjoys a great fantasy story.

I couldn’t stop. This book could not be put down. I needed to consume it with every free moment I had, which aren’t many lately. This was maybe my favorite book of the series, if you haven’t read one and two, go find them. Very much a different style of story and writing than my “go to books” but dang I couldn’t say a bad thing if I wanted. Good work sir. I’m excited to see what comes next.

So much going on I don’t know how to feel.
I loved the mix of adventures going on.
This is a story of a multiverse.
Do you know how talented you have to be to pull a story like this off?
Wow!
A battle of the gods and humanity that has never been written.
This is book three and this is a true masterpiece.
It was a world wind of adventure and magic and power and it is such an original story that it takes my breath away.
This author has gotten better and better with each book and I love that the story has continued.

Who doesn’t love boxsets? I love that you get all three books at once and no stopping to get the next book it is right there.

Book one is a sci-fi story and is his debut book. It is a unique and interesting tale that he has lovingly shared with us. You can tell he has written the story with passion and poured his heart and soul into it. The characters were many and varied as the story takes place, as the title says, through spacetime with multiple species and races and worlds you can only imagine. James’s writing, descriptions and depictions are very detailed, and you can easily imagine what the words portray. The concept of All-That-Is is intriguing and many will relate to some of the teachings/concepts that James has given us in the book. To that end it is a complex story with multiple layers and sometimes I had to re-read something just to take it all in and absorb what was being said. I also felt that the story could have been told with less words. That being said I look forward to seeing what James comes up with next.
If you love sci-fi grab a copy and settle in for a unique tale that will get you thinking.

Book two It is an adventure where the story is multi layered and complex with a lot going on with so many character players. James certainly keeps you on your toes. As with the first book, James has once again given the reader a lot to think about in the aspect of spirituality and time travelling and a shared consciousness throughout a multiverse. In this book the players are tasked with finding a treasure that is coveted and is shrouded in mystery and age-old time. Again, I found myself thinking that the story could have been told in fewer words, but it was interesting to see how James has grown from his first. I look forward to seeing where he takes us next.

This author is really coming into his own with this third book in his Sci-Fi fantasy series. It is a multi-layered adventure where the author has woven many complex threads to make this compelling tale. There is a lot going on with a cast of many and plenty of action to keep you engaged. Whilst this is a work of fiction it does make you look at spirituality and take you on a journey into the vast array of alternative thinking. Just what is our purpose in life and how we became, how we are connected, what more is there out there that we truly do not understand and have yet to discover. Make sure to read the books to gain an understanding of the world and characters that have been brought to life. There is plenty of action and adventure, drama intrigue and danger. It really is a thought provoking read that will challenge your thinking.
I look forward to what comes next.

Several of my favorite characters make a reappearance in this third installment, and several new characters that just pull the story together and give us a fantastic adventure. Personally I really recommend reading the previous two books in this series, while you technically don’t have too it is highly beneficial for reacquaint characters, plot lines, and backstory. This story is so well thought out, full of complex characters, multiple layers of detail, and an adventure that will keep you on the edge of your seat. This story was so great I can’t wait to see what our author gives us next.

This author is really coming into his own with this third book in his Sci-Fi fantasy series. It is a multi-layered adventure where the author has woven many complex threads to make this compelling tale. There is a lot going on with a cast of many and plenty of action to keep you engaged. Whilst this is a work of fiction it does make you look at spirituality and take you on a journey into the vast array of alternative thinking. Just what is our purpose in life and how we became, how we are connected, what more is there out there that we truly do not understand and have yet to discover. Make sure to read the books to gain an understanding of the world and characters that have been brought to life. There is plenty of action and adventure, drama intrigue and danger. It really is a thought provoking read that will challenge your thinking.
I look forward to what comes next.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Journeys Through AllCreation is the third instalment of the epic Journeys Through series. It’s a rich and detailed fantasy story that weaves together multiple interconnected threads. I would definitely recommend starting with the first book in this amazing series – Journey’s Through SpaceTime.
The author really has a knack for worldbuilding, and this story which takes readers between different worlds really is a treat! I particularly enjoyed the Himalayan setting on Earth, bringing together the fantasy and the power of the real setting. Plenty of vivid descriptions to keep readers’ imaginations busy!
As with the other books in the series, this is not the easiest to follow at times. It definitely demands a lot of your attention – great to read when you’ve got a lot of time and space (no pun intended) to get truly absorbed in the book. There’s a lot at stake in the MultiVerse so once you get into it it’s an absolutely gripping story!
This book gets five stars from me. I’d recommend the series to fans of sci-fi an fantasy who want to be taken on a truly awesome adventure!

Prepare for another adventure into multiverse this time with twins Matt and Rashella at the healm who have to find an ancient artifact and save entire universes from being erased… the entire multiverse is in danger!

Yet again this author has you delving into consciousness, spirituality, time travel and prophecies while expertly building worlds and developing characters in a way that hooks you to their journey and you can’t stop reading!

I truly enjoy how the returning characters have changed and grown as the series progressed in complicated and beautiful ways. It’s imperative to read the first two books if you want the full effect from this fantastic series.

This is a can’t miss and a GEM of an author who truly understands writing and projects passion and true literary art in every word.

Journeys Through AllCreation (Journeys Through Book 3) by James Talisman. I LOVE this author. I have never been a huge sci-fi fan until I found this author and now I love it! This book is just as good if not better than the other two. Just be prepared when you start this book you are not going to want to put it down. I highly suggest you read the previous 2 books so that you will have a better understanding of this one. Its the story of Earth disappearing from reality along with other worlds. The Celestial beings are fighting to stop this from happening and during the fight they get locked in another reality. There is fantasy, space, mystery and good vs. evil what more do you need. I felt like I was in the book with these other beings. The action is super fast paced and you will flip pages late in the night. Do yourself a favor and read this amazing new book in the Journey’s Through Series!

I have to say that with each book I just fall deeper and deeper into this book created world and am not disappointed. I really like the author’s concept of a multiuniverse. I like to delve into scifi and fantasy and this was just what the doctor ordered. This being the third book in the series added to the build up of my reading of it and as I have said I was not disappointed.

I like how the author is able to have just the right amount of drama and managed to put in a little romance, just a little. I also like how the characters pasts influence the story and how everything is entwined. I also like the character build up and how the author is able to keep the story flowing and unique. I also loved the cliff hanger at the end and cannot wait to see how this series will continue and perhaps grow.

This is the 3rd book in the Journeys through series and they just keep getting better and better. I highly recommend reading all these books in order so that you understand the full story and also don’t get overwhelmed by the amount of characters. The author does an amazing job making each character unique and giving them all a purpose and identity which means the reader can easily tell them apart.
This is a great adventure from the beginning. It’s fast paced and a story or good vs evil in a fight to save planet earth and all the other planets in the Multi Verse.
There is a prophecy that needs to be understood to figure out how to save them all but with the forces of evil getting more powerful and 2 of the important people trapped this leaves the fate of everything in the hands of Matt and his other friends from across the Multiverse.
The connection between the characters is also really unique such as Matt and Rashella being twins in a different time and seeing how that connection plays out even though now they are from 2 separate worlds.

This is definately a book for someone who loves a story that will grab a hold of you and not let go. You find yourself getting lose in the journey through time and space and fighting to save your world from a threat you didn’t even know existed.

I have been invested in this series (and Author) from the 1st book, and just like the previous two, I could not find a “stopping point” to quit reading for the night. The worlds and characters in this series can seem a bit hard to follow AT FIRST but once you get a hang of who is who, and from where (or when), it flows very nicely. This series is SO unique, you are not only following one character, or even one group of characters, in a single timeline. This is different species. Different Worlds. This is a MULTIVERSE of characters and dilemmas. Think of Game of Thrones meets Sci-Fi. You have the twisted and intertwined storylines, that all come together to form a neat and tidy plot. I have never encountered another author that makes such complex world building and creativity seem so flawless and natural. This is past meets future, peace meets war, and simple meets complex, all at once. Pick this one (and the previous 2 books) up and you will be in for a whirlwind of fantasy heaven!

The multiverse is in danger, entire universes are to be erased from existence. Ancient twins Matt and Rashella must journey through vast worlds, universes, and even their own spiritual consciousness to stop an ancient prophecy and rescue their mentors from a grand illusion. Tensions rise as the pair prepare for their biggest battle yet. Will the power of unity triumph over the former celestial ruler, the devil who believes that only the truly supreme shall rule? Or will universes collapse, crumble under the weight of the crimson “god’s” greed?
What a wonderful read! I love this series so much and as always I was hooked from page one!!!! Such an engaging story makes you feel like anything is possible!! I really liked seeing where the characters are and how they have grown throughout. I felt really connected to them through James Talisman’s writing. He builds beautiful and vast worlds with such striking characters. My favorite part was how the Spirit Servitors were described! Just a fantastical book that blends the Ancient with the Futuristic in a fun and unique way. It’s both an epic and satisfying read!!!! I cannot say enough about this book, I highly recommend it!!!!
