This series is definitely for those who love Sci-fi. Best part is that all three books in this series are in a bundle. For many hours of adventure. Are you ready for the adventure of Evil vs Good. You will really give your feels many challenges.This story is well thought out as well as fast paced. You can’t help but love the characters and their places in these adventures. This author has taken the time to separate each destination as well as who gets to explore. While this is truly fantasy. It was fun to see just where this author will take you, the readers. While this is not something I would normally read, I’m pleased I took the time to check out this author’s work. I recommend you read this series in order. I have no spoilers in this review.

The Journeys Through collection is a must read for anyone who loves spirituality and adventure. I have had the pleasure of reading the three books in this series and each just got better as the stories continued to evolve and grow. The author has created a vibrant universe with multiple characters whose stories are interwoven into an epic adventure. I highly recommend this series. I look forward to the next book as I want to see how this story turns out.

This is one of my favorite box sets since I’ve been reading them and that’s a long time coming. The setting of these books transcend you to a different place, time and dimension which leaves your mind blown. The originality the author provides makes this a great read! You’ll be fascinated as you quickly indulge in book after book of action-packed entertainment with great characters to boot. Enjoy!

Finally, A box set where EACH book is worthy of being in the set! This author is SO good at creating an entire multiverse of characters, species, and worlds that are unique and different than anything you have read before. Rather than go on and on about how epic this set is, I will post my reviews for the individual books.

Journeys Through SpaceTime is a complex and intricately woven web of many different worlds/dimensions and therefore, characters. I had a difficult time in the beginning remembering who was who, and keeping up with all the diverse characters, each with their own unique personalities, lives, thoughts, and even worlds at times. It almost is reminiscent of Game of Thrones, in the writing style and the way it follows multiple timelines, simultaneously. I was curious how the author would be able to bring all these diverse characters together, to make it blend seamlessly and not feel awkward, and found I was enjoying THAT mystery as much as the book itself! Not a light read for the average reader, but I found myself indulged and wanting to know what happened next, and to who! I was pleasantly surprised, as Sci-Fi is not my typical choice of genre, and cannot wait to dive into part two, Journeys Through TimeSpace! I think this one deserves a 5 star, it is not easy to have so many complex personalities that are so well written!

This is the second installment in the Journeys series by James Talisman. In book one, we are thrown into a multi-verse, where characters come from different places and backgrounds. In this book, the battle to save Earth continues, but this battle is a little different. Instead of only traversing across the multi-verse, the characters are now traveling through time as well. I highly suggest reading book 1 (Journeys through SpaceTime) before heading out on this adventure, as it will make much more sense. I was very happy to see some of my favorite characters from book 1 return (but I won’t spoil who!), and learn more about who they are, and why. I was so invested in this series, wondering and hoping along with the characters, that good will overcome evil (in a sense). I am not typically a sci-fi reader but this series had me on the edge of my seat and I flew through the pages without effort. I truly hope to see a 3rd book in this set, and 110% recommend this series to everyone! 10 out of 10 stars, easily.

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!

These books are very well written. I was drawn in and captivated till the end of each one. The character development and world(s) building are top notch. The author does an awesome job of keeping everything consistent across all books, without feeling like anything is lacking or he is trying too hard. If you enjoy Sci-fi, these books should be at the top of your list to read.

This is the box set of books 1-3 int this amazing sci-fi series of books. It was nice to get all the books together in one set to easily read. This is a wonderful series and I highly recommend that you read it. Especially now that you can purchase a box set. If you are a fan of sci-fi you will love these books. The best part of having this box set is that you don’t have to wait for the next book to be released to continue reading. They are all right there in one. That’s the hardest part of reading series books for me. Having to wait for the next one. That’s why this is the best way to go with this series. Please pick it up and give it a read.

Any true reader knows the value of a box set, and how exciting it is! To have your favorites all collected together in pretty packaging is a feel good moment!

All 3 Journey books were truly amazing, and started each one devastated every time I finished because it was that amazing. Book 1 was an extraordinary introduction to the world and characters.
This Sci-Fi creation takes your imagination on whirlwind of 5 different individuals as they navigate personal beliefs, personal struggles, and the overall connection they each somehow have. Its such a fun story that you cant help but want to read from start to finish with no distractions. The relatable characters and life lessons no matter the world they inhabit made the story even more lifelike.
There were so many things about this book that can be said! James Talisman took us on quite the adventure with his Multiverse and the many different characters who inhabit it. The worlds were wonderfully crafted with the most well thought out characters and their intricately woven stories. This book was a complete page turner, and prepared me for me book 2.
Book 2 really pulled me in!! The character development and the storyline advanced further in book 2, and it really captured my attention with the imagination and detail. You truly feel as one with each character, and can easily imagine yourself there. As we reunite with the characters from book 1 we become privy to their dedication for their beliefs and their different worlds. As the story progresses we are able to see more about each character and more in-depth views of the multiverse, and how everything connects. James Talisman is very talented and he is one of the reasons I am venturing out to read more Sci-Fi books.
Book 3 left me speechless because it was the finale and the series end. No words can express how excited I was for the story, but sad that it was not going on any longer. The characters had developed into their own, and their worlds were now as familiar to me as my own. This book will consume you and make you crave more of what this author has to create..

Be prepared to take notes because a ton of plotlines and different settings are involved. It took me a little time to get into the story. Soon though, I found myself getting emotionally invested with some key characters. The author’s strong suit is characterization. I connected with Cassius who’s going to defend the helpless, no matter the consequences. I saw myself so much in this character. Also, Hirisho was a favorite with his love of family. At the same time, the villains in the story are truly awful – like I can’t stand them with a passion. Some things reminded me of Star Wars, which I love by the way. Some of the dramatic elements reminded me of Lord of the Rings. Overall, a dramatic sci-fi series that will introduce you to some new worlds and characters you love.

This is such an awesome science fiction series! You take a deep dive into the huge MultiVerse and travel through time learning all of the secrets. Definitely recommend reading them in order to fully enjoy and understand the series. Even if you are not a huge science fiction fan you will enjoy this series. The author is so descriptive in his writing that you can really visualize the places and characters in the books. I have to say I was drawn most to Matts character. He takes everything in stride and continues to persevere. Definitely recommend this series as it just pulls you into another world!

This is a great series! The characters and storyline of all novels are engaging, and the fantasy worlds created by the author are just incredible. If you like sci-fi and fantasy you would definitely enjoy this series. Sometimes the plot gets a little confusing just because of all the characters and world involved but it’s definitely worth taking the time to read because there is so much to be gained from this series. I have really enjoyed going on this Journey (get it? Haha) of books the past few years and I’m thankful to have experienced this adventure!

Right from the get go, the Journeys through books took you on a whirlwind of a journey. Multiple point of views, and multiple points across space and time were initially confusing, but it all came together in the end. There are twists and turns that make the story not only intriguing, but unpredictable. Sci-fi isn’t normally my thing, but this story definitely held my attention from beginning to end. The characters were sometimes a bit black and white. The good characters were always good, the bad characters always bad. I would have liked to see a little more grey, but that definitely did not stop me from enjoying the series from the start. If you are thinking about giving this book a shot, I would definitely recommend it.

What an amazing series! I am writing this as I finish reading the third book in the series, but I have been hooked since the very beginning! The author has woven a wonderful tale of adventure, through his writing I was able to picture myself right along with the characters from the very first page to where I currently am at in the third book. I’ve already read through the first two books twice as I wanted a refresher prior to reading the third one, and I was just as impressed with them the second time around!

As a new author, it was astonishing to me that he wove such intricate stories for all of the main characters in the first book then slowly merge them into one by the third book. There were definitely times during my first read through that I was confused by all the storylines, but by the end of the second one on my second read through I was not.

Despite my initial concerns of the book being too much for me to follow, similar to Game of Thrones, I am so happy I ended up reading this series! It has renewed my love for SciFi, whether it be a book, television show, or movie, I have and will continue to watch and read more of this genre in the future!

This is science fiction/fantasy at its finest. In the beginning of this series, we are introduced to multiple characters, each from their own world. The description of all of these different worlds is incredible. Each and every one is so beautifully detailed. The character themselves are very well described and this combination of world and character detail makes you feel like you are right there with them. Throughout the books, the characters grow and learn. This is ideal in a series.

Really, it is like reading multiple stories, all wrapped up in one incredible book. We are taken back and forth between worlds and characters, but it is not confusing at all. If you are a fan of epic science fiction/fantasy stories, this box set is definitely for you.

This boxset is a great 5 star read.

You get pulled right in and get to know all of the different characters. We get different worlds and timelines as well. It took a little bit of time for me to get to know everyone and what was going on, the more I got into the story the more I liked it. Each of the characters are connected in one way, they have a voice that speaks to them and they are each facing some dangerous issues in their worlds. I almost felt like I was reading multiple stories in one book.

There is so much going on again with all of the characters. James pulls you right in with his writing and detail, you feel like you’re right there with them.

We have a race against time to find two seperate treasures. .
The reptilians are searching for something to help with their new weapon.
And Matt, Dan and Julie are trying to learn skills that focus around having a united front.

Overall, this boxset will have you on the edge of your seat with all the twists and turns
If you like action packed reads with great characters this is the series for you. I suggest reading somewhere where you can stay focused with no interruptions because there is so much happening. 1-click and find out for yourself who will be successful in their hunt. 1-click and get started with this great boxset today.

A must read! I am normally not a fan of sci-fi fantasy novels, but the Journeys Set takes you into a multiverse that really brings you to a place of wanting every complex drop of knowledge you can wring from the story. The first little bit of the first book can be confusing (I actually read it twice) but is full of very important details that you need to really be cognizant of space time dimensions and the silky threads that bind it together. If you are reading the series and feel like giving up I urge you to keep reading. The author really brings all these seemingly unrelated events to fruition. I thoroughly enjoyed the complexity of the inter dimensional threads that combined the characters.
The author takes you to places in such detail that you can actually see, feel and smell what he is describing. I absolutely love the details in this book. To me there is nothing better than an author who can create a picture so clear in your mind you can swear you have been there and This author does exactly that!
I also find the parallels between our world and the universes that have been created particularly fascinating. Believe me this series is a hidden gem. What a masterful multiverse the author has created!!! This story will take you further through time travel than ever before. Absolutely an amazing read!! Don’t miss out, grab this series as a set because you won’t want to put it down once you get started!!

I have said it before and will say it again, I love boxsets. This is a fabulous series to get in that form because you are getting an enormous amount of story and adventure and more for such and amazing value that it almost feels like a disadvantage to the amazing author. You can always tell with these books how much time and effort went into them with the imagination and fervor that is in the worldbuilding of the novels. They are just amazing and each one is a new adventure that will have you hanging on the edge of your seat as you navigate topics I am sure most wouldn’t even imagine could be so amazing and beautiful as well as fascinating. I am going to include the reviews of each of the first two books for now. I am not done with the third as it just released and just can’t give that to you yet until I do but I will be back to add to this when I do!

Journeys Through SpaceTime: Book One
Journeys Through SpaceTime by James Talisman is his debut novel and it is a doozy. This book is not one that I would normally pick up because I tend to get extremely overwhelmed with multiverse story lines. Now, I must say this book had its confusing times where I found myself rereading sometimes three times to finally sort it all out, but I felt like this book was worth it. That is where the key to a great book lays for me. He has managed to build up these beautiful and vibrant worlds so that you feel as if you are traversing space right along with the characters. I enjoyed the amount of effort and time that was so apparent while reading, that was put into this novel to make it all that it is. This book also incorporates a lot of different characters as well as the worlds so be prepared to take a deep breath and dedicate the time to this novel to get the maximum enjoyment out of it. I read it over holiday break so I feel like maybe I will need a reread when the tiny terrorists return to school lol. I will definitely be around for a book two to see what will come next.

Journeys Through TimeSpace: Book Two
Ok so I do not read multiverse or sci-fi books, like ever, but the first one in this series of Journeys Through from James Talisman kept me hooked completely from beginning to end and I am so excited that the second one lived up to the same standards and hype. Talisman has a knack for writing some vivid scenes that will literally take you away through the vast ‘multiverse’ and make you fall in love with the characters along the journey. I love how this is not an original idea per say amongst the sci-fi world, it is completely written in a way that it is fresh and very original. I can’t honestly say I have ever read other books like this or enjoyed them.

I know this is said to be able to be read as a stand alone novel but I would HIGHLY recommend that you start with the first book, Journeys through SpaceTime. You will not be disappointed that you had the chance to experience the universe that Talisman has created in these novels. I am very excited to see what the next book will hold and what characters and worlds we will get to visit in that one.

A box set is such a great thing, there is no waiting for the next book when you finish one. This is a great set of books. These books have taken me on an adventure of great world building, complex storylines, a large array of characters and so much more. Each book in this series got better and better. This author writes with such great detail that you get pulled right into these Sci fi books. The complexity of these stories are definitely thought provoking and they are books that you can read multiple times and find things you may have missed the first time. I found these stories to be original and hard to put down. These are definitely a must read!

Book1
Journeys Through SpaceTime (Journeys Through Book 1) is the first installment to this Sci/Fi/ fantasy story. Mr. Talisman gives us a complex and detailed story with lots of characters to keep track of. This story has everything that a reader could ask for including action, hidden agendas, politics, adventure, and danger. There’s so much in this story that you find yourself flipping the pages eagerly to find out what happens next. Since this is the first installment to this series there are a lot of suspenseful moments, some of which get tied up in pretty bows and others that are left unsolved, leaving his readers to anticipate book two. But if your looking for an exciting Sci/Fi/fantasy book to read this weekend then I highly recommend Journeys Through SpaceTime (Journeys Through Book 1) by James Talisman.

Book2
James Talisman does it again! Journeys Through TimeSpace was even more amazing then Mr. Talisman’s first book, he really knows how to deliver a plot that hooks us from the beginning and characters so fantastic that you can’t put his books down. While this book includes time travel, danger and more, Mr. Talisman has a way of writing that makes you feel like you are right there with his characters. Mr. Talisman has a very vivid imagination and he gives his characters lots of plots and agendas, the question is will his characters succeed? You will have to read Journeys Through TimeSpace to find out.

Book 3

While this is the third installment in the series it definitely didn’t disappoint. Once again we’re taken on a wild fantasy/sci-fi adventure. 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.

I am not typically a science fiction fan and usually takes me a long time to finish if ever. However, always up for a challenge I picked up this series by James Talisman. I like to give a fair chance to all books and while there is a lot going on in these books the author does an immaculate job tying everything together in a kind of map you can follow so as not to get lost. I also love that this is a boxset as it takes away the time of having to search for the books in the series you can keep reading through the multiverse with this cast of characters.

I really enjoyed how this cast of characters has a wide variety of characteristics and training with regard to the mysterious voice trying to teach them techniques of old. They are constantly learning and adapting to their new found skills as they fight to overcome each challenge presented to them. Can these different beings come together to stop an old leader from destroying sections of the multiverse? Can they master their new skills or will this be even too much for them to handle? If you want to read science fiction novels with a different twist then this set is for you. Take a chance and take a dive into this wonderfully diverse multiverse with beautifully described scenery that makes you feel as though you are there with the characters.

Book 2: Excellent second book! Picked up right where it left off. It’s honestly so well written and will grab your attention whether you think Scifi is for you or not! I really enjoyed this despite this genre not being my number one fave! The characters are amazing and it wasn’t a book that dragged and dragged. The author has done an amazing job and im so grateful I got my hands on it!

Book One:
Journeys Through SpaceTime is the first installment in The Journeys Through series.

As a reader who does not often read sci-fi, I actually, really enjoyed this book. Although there are quite a few characters and different points of view to follow at the beginning and it is a bit confusing, I enjoyed the character building and how it kept my attention and, in the end, all came together.
The story had a very interesting plot and I enjoyed how the author brought all the characters together.

Overall I really enjoyed this book and would highly recommend it. I cannot wait to read the second instalment Journeys Through TimeSpace.

Book Two:
Journeys Through TimeSpace is book 2 in the Journey Through series and just like book 1 it did not disappoint! I loved how readers learned more about the characters throughout this second installment in this series. It captured my attention and kept me wanting to know what happened to the characters when I had to be away from reading it.
Overall, I would highly recommend this series and book to those who love sci-fi and those who are looking to step outside their comfort book genre and want to read something fun, adventurous with a great storyline and awesome character building!
I can’t wait to read what comes next!

Journeys Through series is turning into a must-read series! This author does a great job creating not only one fantasy world but several within a universe. Those many different Verses are shown to us in the first chapter of the first book. And the adventure begins right away.

All three books keep you engaged and turning those pages. They must be read in order so you can follow Matt, Julia and Dan. These three friends grow throughout the entire series. I can’t wait to see what they do next! There are other characters from the different worlds who are just as intriguing and interesting! This sci-fi series is top notch and full of adventure!

I really enjoyed all three exciting and fast paced novels in this boxset and ‘binge read’ them all, as I was hooked from book one. Set in the ‘MultiVerse’ of multiple worlds scattered through both space and time this sci-fi/fantasy series took me on an immersive adventure. The world building is so well done that I felt as though I was on each world, and through the descriptive writing the sights, sounds and smells all came alive. Book one, begins with a mysterious voice which is heard in the mind of a selection of inhabitants, across the multiple worlds within the MultiVerse of space and time. There are a lot of different characters introduced from the various worlds, each with their own intriguing backstories.

I liked how the stories are told from each characters point of view, and all the characters are both likeable and relatable, which made me feel engaged with them. I felt as though I was there along side the adventurers throughout the three full sized novels. The novels do have multiple characters and it is hard to keep track of them all at times, however, the list of characters at the beginning of the books is a great idea and really helps. I feel that you do not have to be familiar with the MultiVerse genre to enjoy this boxset, as each novel has an exciting storyline which had me gripped, and introduces fabulously original characters. I recommend this series of enjoyable, exciting and engaging novels, which make up this boxset.

The stories and exciting and so well written that it was not hard at all to find myself getting lost within them. I loved the diversity of the characters and what each of them brought to the story. This is a fantastic series mac duo if three amazing books. I would highly recommend them and can’t wait to see what else the author has in store for us.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A mysterious voice is heard inside the minds of multiple people across time and the multiverse to spread warning and encouragement for the amazing journey they are about to undertake. Beings across time and space will have to work together to save the multiverse from complete destruction.

This series is the first Sci-fi series that had me hooked from Page one. The intricate world building and character development is nothing short of amazing.

There is multiple POV in this story, and this story will explore the theories of multiverse, consciousness, time travel, prophecies, spirituality, and ancient wisdom.

the characters introduced will grow, learn and change with each subsequent story leading to a action packed conclusions.

Can they save multiverse from destruction? Will “good” or “evil” prevail.

This is a can’t miss series!!!

Book one: It follows the stories of several different characters among different time frames and multiverses as they hear a mysterious voice. The beginning of the book, while describing the main characters, feels like it was written with a minimum word requirement with the excessive describing of every single detail. It became almost overwhelming at times. It wasn’t consistent with the style of writing for the remainder of the book which I was very happy to see. However, if you like a book that gives strong vivid details to set the scenes, this is the book for you.

Beware, the book can be hard to follow and it can be confusing how each story is connected. Jumping back and forth between the different realms, I found myself having to go back to the previous chapters to remind myself who these characters are. Thankfully, James does provide a character list in the beginning of the book that I found incredibly helpful. Once I stopped trying to connect the different realms/characters and read each chapter as individual short stories, it became a page turner that I couldn’t put down. I was excited to see what happened next and the final wrap up at the end was the perfect ending.

Ultimately, I was hesitant to read the story as the overview seemed overwhelming and confusing but I am so happy that I did. Journeys Through Space Time ended up being an exciting book following different characters who had to find the good in themselves to beat the bad. Classic good versus evil written in a completely new way.

Book Two: This was another exciting read as we follow Matthew, Julia, and Dan, in their attempt to save the world. I enjoyed this second book much more than I did the first. It was evident that James found the writing style that fit this book. I enjoyed following the different adventures between Matt, Julia, and Dan and their growth to learn their new abilities. I found that much of the book revolved around these three and their travels, I wish there was more character development in some of the other key players. I would recommend this to anyone that enjoys scifi as well as mystery and adventure. I also recommend reading the first book to find out who the characters are and their importance.

Book Three: 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.

You’re going to want to read this series.

This isn’t a typical genre of book for me to pick up, but I am sure glad I did! These three books are so engrossing that it is hard to believe it’s a debut series. It is quite obvious that the author planned and fleshed out his ideas and plot-line in order to make it not only good, but believable as well.
In the first book, there are several different narratives weaved together, and each one is compelling and unique. I find the story itself to be so interesting, and I love how each character believes and experiences similar things, and yet they are so completely different. Like I said, this story is intense and there is a lot going on straight from the get go, but if you hang with it, it’s totally worth it. That being said, it is not hard at all to get swept up with each character because they are described so well.

This is a series that is not only a great book for SciFi fans, it is a great book for any reader. Like I said, I usually don’t gravitate towards this genre of writing, but, like the first book in the series, book two pulled me right in. In keeping with the first installment, book 2 is rich with character and description. The MultiVerse story follows closely the storyline of three friends (Matt, Julia, and Dan) as they work to keep Earth safe; however, running parallel, is the story of a reptilian leader on his own mission. I highly recommend reading book 1 first, as book 2 is a continuation. I found it quite helpful to already have a knowledge about the setting and characters and what drives them. I very much enjoyed falling into this author’s vibrant imagination and knack for engaging storytelling.

The third book is just as good. IIt CAN be read on its own, I highly recommend reading the first two books first. Not only because the series should be read in its entirety to really get the full effect, but because it’s just so damn good, you’re gonna want to read all of it anyway. This author has a way of pulling the reader through the words on the page and into the story. If you are into action, science fiction, and fantasy (or even if you usually don’t), dive right into this series. The characters are well-developed and interesting and the plot is full of action and jumps off the page! If I could give the entire series twenty stars, I would.
