Journeys Through Collection: Volumes 1-3 by James Talisman – Review by Erica Fish

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

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.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Arabella is back in book two of this series. She is being sworn into the witch sisterhood and there are more adventures ahead. Secrets are coming out. Sisters are having break downs. Mom has issues. You really should read this installment: relatable characters with lots of quirks; plot twists abound; and a pretty quick read that will make you smile. Oh and I can’t wait for book 3. Love her cliffhangers. Recommend you push the one-click and give this one a read.

This was an interesting book. Kick-ass women, like Arabella, in the form of witches in a power struggle over who gets to be in the society of witches. If you’re not, you are dead, that is all. Now, I can’t tell you much, you’re going to have to read it. The characters are very relatable. Many sisters to annoy you, who can’t relate? An older brother to help keep an eye on things. The plot has a couple of choppy spots. It’s a quick weekend read that will make you smile and maybe even giggle. I recommend this.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Clockwork Solution is the second book in The Clockwork Solution. The book is the continuation of the story of Arabella and her magical power of technomancy. I enjoyed this book more than the first and could get into the story more. Though aiming for a YA audience, I think teens and older readers can enjoy this series. The characters have become better developed, which has helped drive the story. However, it did end a bit abruptly, so I hope there is more to this series in the future.
I look forward to finding more from this author in the future.

The Clockwork Witch is the first book in The Clockwork Chronicles series. I enjoyed the Steampunk fantasy setting with the main character, Arabella, discovering that she does not have any typical witchcraft power but instead the power of technomancy. The book is written for a YA audience, but adults can enjoy it. The story is good, and I liked the concept. I enjoyed this book and am curious about where the story will go in the second book in the series.

I want to be a bit brutally honest for a moment here because this is a review and well I have an opinion lol… This book was completely nothing what I thought it would be. In fact it was ten times better and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I really loved it and want more. I just happen to be one of those weirdos that tend to judge books by their covers and this book, well, it doesn’t do it for me. And it pigeon holes it into a category that won’t snag the group of readers that this book needs to snag because it is that good. It needs a bright beautiful steampunk, catch your eye cover. The adventures inside don’t match the little house on the prairie on the cover.

With that I feel better and this book was amazing. If steampunk adventure fantasy reads are your thing, this book will blow your mind. I was whisked away to this new world of adventure with Arabella and I am super excited to find out more with future books! This is a new author to me and I really love how she writes with such vigor and passion, it really shows in the story and character development. The side characters are just as fun as the main ones. I will definitely be back for more and look forward to sharing this one with my teenagers.

Creative, clever and cosmic
This is 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, and I do recommend reading the books in order. I really hope there is more to come.

This is book 3 in the series, and it honestly did not disappoint just like the last ones. I really enjoy the creativity and imagination that this author has, it really makes you feel like you’re really witnessing all the things that are happening in the book. 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.

This author has officially bought this story around full circle.
WHY DO I STILL LOVE DRAGONS?!
This right here….
Okay now these books are so long and it’s great because it’s alit of omg and yes and wow but,
Everytime I get to the middle it drags& it’s not the story it’s just so much at once and it never ends and then it’s over and I want more.
Do you see my dilemma?
The world of power and murder twisted into mystery.
Did I say there was a dragon? It really is the best!
Now the great thing is unlocking all the power that our female MC has inside and I’m guessing she has evermore amazing tricks.
Be careful who your friends are my mom taught me that!
This author has time to bring us gold.
I am going to give it four stars, it IS amazing but for me it was longer then it needed to be but I still respect and love this series and I cannot wait for more.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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.

The MesmeristThe Mesmerist by Claire Luana
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am an avid reader and I absolutely love fantasy books, but this is easily one of the best ones I have read. The Mesmerist takes place in a fantasy world that is beautifully created in the first few chapters of the book while introducing a diverse cast of characters. Jana, the main character, is loveable and complex in a way that I could connect with. I connected with her sense of adventure and wanting to explore the bigger world around her rather than just her family farm. I found myself trying to solve the mystery that surrounded her, but I also enjoyed the other aspects of the story. One of the things that I enjoy most about fantasy books is the ability to escape, and The Mesmerist definitely allowed me an escape from daily life. Once I started it, I had a difficult time putting it down!

This was my first book by this author, but it definitely won’t be my last! I plan on reading her previous books and I am hoping for a sequel to this one! I absolutely recommend this book for both young adults and older. It is a beautiful story in a world that I hope we see again!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

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.

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.

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!

Reading, Nite Fire: Smoke and Mirrors, was a pleasure. The paranormal world C.L. Schneider built is unique and exciting. The main character is a dragon! That’s right part human part dragon. The dialogue between Dahlia and her partner in crime, Creed is entertaining. The writing in general is creative and humorous. Not only is the world fascinating, but the characters are also likeable, and it is action-packed. This is the 3rd book in this series. I need to go back and read the first two books.

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 series is definitely binge-worthy! A little bit of crime, a lot a bit of who dun it, and who doesn’t love dragons?! If you have read the first and second books in the series, reading the third is a must. If you haven’t picked up the series, I say again reading this book is a must.

Looking forward to sinking my claws into the next one in the series. What kind of adventures will she get herself into next? Either way…I am along for the ride!

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!!!!

This is a captivating shifter book. Aranha is such a great heroine. She’s strong and beautiful and she has such a big heart. I was pulled right into the colorful world that the author creates from the very first page. This is so different from the other shifter stories that I’ve read and I absolutely loved it! There’s so much action, and the electricity between Aranha and Dag is incredible! I was fascinated by the Garden of Eden theme, how so much was shielded from everyone and faded into the background until it was brought back in a very startling way! It was great seeing the interactions between the different species that happens in this book, it’s one book that you definitely won’t want to miss.

It’s books like this that make keep me coming back for more. I get so excited when I find a book that looks like it will be an interesting read, but turns out to be so much more- providing an escape that just blows me away….
A Spider In the Garden is a fantastic urban fantasy from Courtney Davis. This may be my first read by Ms. Davis, but after reading this book she has definitely gained a stalker, ummm I mean avid reader, for life!!!! #mustreadauthorlist
This is such a wonderful, and refreshingly original paranormal romance that completely captivated me right from the beginning. As a major arachnophobe, like I can’t even stand to be in the same room as a spider (even a teeny-tiny one)- the chances of me falling in love with a spider-shifter story wasn’t a high probability. But as I love to read different things and push myself out of my comfort zones, I thought I would take a peek at this story. And I am soooooooooo happy I did, because I absolutely LOVED it!!! Yep, this may have cured me of my arachnophobia- well let’s not get too carried away, but at the very least this has cured me of my fear of spiders in the printed world lol.
Aranha is a spider shifter, and the last of her kind. Her days are a constant struggle for survival. Humans don’t pose a threat to her, but the vampires and werewolves certainly do. It’s imperative that she stay hidden from other paranormal creatures who would kill her if they knew of her existence. Much better for them to think webmakers to be extinct. But then fate leads her into Dag’s bar, and things get….interesting. Add in some hidden agendas, an innocent girl captured by vampires with a diabolical plan, intrigue, mystery, emotion, paranormal politics, and palpable danger- and this story really takes off. I hope there are more books planned for this ‘world’ as Ms. Davis has left me with a bit of an addiction and I need another ‘fix’.
I am so thrilled to have discovered Ms. Davis and her wonderful stories. I am off to read her other book ‘A Werewolf in Women’s Clothes’ and can’t wait for her to release more stories for me to devour…..
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Courtney Davis!
