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 1: James Talisman did such an amazing job grabbing the reader (me). I don’t often choose a sci-fi book but was glad this one called to me! Book was well written, interesting, and a page turner! Was very happy with it! Cannot wait for more from such a great author! 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! I couldn’t put it down and when I was forced to I was constantly thinking about the book and wondering what would happen next! Definately worth a read!!

Book 1: Please excuse me while I go grab book two!!……. This book is so amazing! The way the author builds up his characters is wonderful. You can envision this unfolding! I didn’t want to put it down once I got into it. Definitely a page turner here!! I haven’t read many sci-fi type books, but I really enjoyed this one. Traveling through space time, meeting each character, and following along while their adventures unfold was very entertaining. I would definitely recommend this book to sci-fi lovers!! Book 2: Amazing Sci-fi Adventure Through Time&Space! This book has been an experience for me. I haven’t read many Sci-fi Multiverse Space books, but let me tell you I was hooked in right away! The author takes such care building the characters up between book 1 & 2 that you can picture these three college friends (Matt, Julia, and Dan) joking around and poking fun at each other. He connects them in a way that shows you their friendship and how they handle their hardships together along their journey that it grabs you and you can’t wait to see who does what next! You don’t NEED to read book one before you read this book, BUT I really recommend reading it!!. Book one shows you so much about each character, their species, each of their journeys, and much of their training and abilities being learned and used throughout both books. I’m not going to spoil anything but I enjoyed all the details brought to life in this set. I can picture some of the scenes like they were on canvas. You can tell that the author really put time in building each character, the worlds and scenes, the spacecrafts and their technologies, and even the knowledge behind the teachings and meditations. Again I haven’t read many books of this type, so some of the space lingo I was new to, but I picked it up pretty fast and I’m so glad that I did. You will love this journey and the race to save the world and more. Will these college friends, with the help of others, save everyone in time? Will they survive all their trails along the way? Or will they fail and doom multiple worlds? Buckle up for a Journey through space and time!! Book 3: Will update review once finished….

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!

Sci-fi is not my usual choice of reading material but every now and then I like to mix it up some. My go to sci-fi author? James Talisman for sure!
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!

In book one of this trilogy, “Journeys Through SpaceTime” the main characters are introduced as they learn about their special gifts. As an ancient being makes himself known to some key individuals across the MultiVerse, he embarks on a mission to show how they can manifest these gifts in the world around them. From an enlightened queen, to a skilled warrior whose determination is legendary followed by a university student, a leader of a utopian world who is as intelligent as she is beautiful and some humanoid alien species with an interest in science. These are the ones who will develop their skills, ideals, beliefs and values by learning about ancient secrets of creation, but will they learn what they need to in order to keep the MultiVerse safe from harm?
In the second book “Journeys Through TimeSpace” we observe the next stage of development in the key individuals we met in the first books as they go into the next stage of their development. However, it is the university student who must take on the responsibility of keeping the MultiVerse safe as yet another enemy attempts to do it harm. As they learn the ancient wisdoms taught to them by the celestial beings training them in a mystical land in the Himalayas, the humanoid alien species are seeking aid from other Secret Earth organisations. Both sides seek the ancient treasures needed for their plans to succeed, but as they journey through time and space, who will find them first, the aliens or those from Earth?
In the final book of this trilogy “Journeys Through AllCreation” an ancient prophecy speaks of dire consequences to the MultiVerse of an all powerful “God like” creature uses their intelligence and power to ally themselves with the Dokkaebi-of-all-Creation to create their vision of reality in all its glory. Meanwhile, the celestial beings who would be capable of stopping this diabolical plan in its tracks have gone missing, so ancient twins from the lost continent of Atlantis recruit a beautiful Queen and other team members to join their search for the Master Mage and the ancient artefacts they will need to stop this creature in its tracks. As this unpredictable prophecy plays out among the MultiVerse, the two opposing sides prepare for a confrontation between mortals and “gods” as the future of all the beings in creation hangs in the balance, but which side will be triumph?
This box set is as it says on the cover, a journey through space, time and all creation to attempt to save the MultiVerse and those who inhabit it, but whose beliefs will be the strongest and who will win out in this fast paced race against time, as those whose opinions lie on either side of the spectrum rush to confront those on the other?

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.

This is a fantastic set of books that will capture your attention right from the first word. I found that each book just gets better and better, building on from the previous. 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.

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.

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.

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.

Journeys Through is a wonderful series of metaphysical fiction books. With interconnected stories set in an array of vibrantly described worlds, it really is a treat for readers looking for something a bit different that will fuel their imaginations. I particularly enjoy how this book sits across multiple genres, with different storylines fitting more into, say, space opera or urban fantasy. Common themes, and the author’s writing style, provide consistency through these different worlds in the MultiVerse. These three books all get five stars from me, and it’s so handy that they’re all collected together in one volume! I would definitely recommend getting this version if you haven’t already read the first couple of books, so you can move seamlessly between them rather than having to wait until you have an opportunity to get the next book!

Journeys Through Collection; Volumes 1-3 by James Talisman 4 Stars
Journeys Through Collection is unlike any boxset you have read. It is classified as science fiction/ fantasy but it also has spirituality woven throughout. Each book is truly original. The stories take place on different planets at different times. Many reminding me of different eras on Earth; Egyptians, Japanese warriors, gladiators and present day. There are many characters and multiple points of view which are constantly changing. I suggest that you pay attention, I got a little list sometimes.
I’m happy that this is a boxset. You need to read these books in order to understand exactly what’s going on. The plot thickens and follows through each book. I don’t usually read this genre but decided to step out of my comfort zone. It was well written and well thought out. If you are a Star Trek fan then you will love these books.

This boxset has amazing characters. You get to follow their stories through the whole series. You get a great glimpse into many different utopian universes. I won’t lie in the beginning I had a hard time following all the different things going on, but once I got sucked in I couldn’t put the book down. This is a great read.

Who doesn’t love a box set? Here we get 3 full length novels, almost 1,000 pages of awesomeness (is that a real word?) Having not read sci-fi/fantasy since my teens I was a bit wary before starting this series but it came highly recommended so I plunged straight in and…I was hooked. The first book in this series is the author’s debut novel and I’m totally blown away by just how amazing and detailed his writing is. He must have one amazing imagination to dream these characters and the different universes up. I really am astounded by the way that you can imagine yourself in the various different universes of the MultiVerse as the author has done such a great job of describing them and setting the scene. There are a lot of characters in these books and, during the first book, I did have a little difficulty in remembering who was who, who were the good guys and who were the bad guys but I soon got to know the characters better and especially loved reading about Matt, Julia and Dan. They were my favourites to read about but I did enjoy reading about all the characters. The books are very entertaining and keep you on the edge of your seat, wondering what is going to happen next. The 3rd book does leave you in a way that, if he chooses to, the author can continue this series and I really hope he does.

This is the 3rd book in this amazing sci-fi series and I have to say that it is my favourite so far. Sci-fi is a genre that I hadn’t really read since my teenage years (a LONG time ago) but this series came highly recommended by a friend and I chose to give it a chance. To get the most out of this amazing series you definitely have to start at the beginning and read them in order. They are not intended to be read as stand alones. I had loved the first two books and was excited to be reunited with Matt, Julia and Dan again to see what amazing adventures they are getting up to now. For much of this book Matt is joined by his ancient twin Rashella, a character that I grew to like more and more as I read this book. In it’s very simplest form this book is about good vs evil. But it’s far more than that. I am awed by how this author can create such amazing characters and universes that really pull you in. His descriptions are details and you can actually imagine yourself right there with the characters. I loved that in essence the author answered the questions that we had but has still managed to leave it open to adding more books to the series. I for one will be right at the front of the queue to read more of this amazing series.

The Journeys Through Series hooked me right from the first book in the Series, Journeys Through Space Time. Now it is in a boxed set! This series intrigued me from the very beginning, and I found it difficult to put the books down. I quickly became wrapped up in the lives of the characters and was fascinated by the concept of multiple worlds. The multiple characters, storylines and points of view were beautifully written, and the story was immensely entertaining.
Even more intriguing to me was that the voice of a mysterious being could be heard in the minds of inhabitants across both time and space. This powerful and wise voice spoke to each inhabitant and gave each one of them advice or words of warning. The only thing linking the inhabitants of all these different worlds was the mysterious voice that each one of them heard. Those that heard the mysterious voice must now combine forces and use their knowledge and newly acquired skills to fight the forces of evil. The fate of the Multiverse is up to them.
I found it truly fascinating to explore the concept of multiple worlds and the vast Multiverse of space and time. The concept of multiple planets each with their own inhabitants had me really thinking about the possibility of life on other planets. The thought of a wise and powerful being that could get into our minds and control our thoughts intrigued me.
The story picks up more in Book Two and really intensifies in Book Three when 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?
This series gave me plenty to think about with the concept of multiple realities taking place simultaneously on multiple planets. The author has 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 highly recommend reading!

Journeys Through Collection: Volumes 1-3 group together the debut novels of James Talisman. This is a fantastic way to get the series all in one place. I recommend reading these books in order to fully enjoy this wonderful series. This is a series filled with science fiction, fantasy, time travel, and multiple universes. The first book drew me in with a well-thought-out and interesting story that kept me reading and engaged. The characters are interesting and those from some of the other worlds harken back to mythology and our ancient history. I really liked the storytelling and the development of different locations. All of the books in this collection bring different aspects to light in this new universe and I am glad to have them all in one place. I look forward to what this author writes in the future.

The Journeys boxset is a journey of a five-star read. I have been known to get into many a debate about the multiverse theory and usually avoid stories about it as they all follow the same type and we just get the one line, but I am glad I took the chance on this one as it had a great fresh perspective and made me start a whole debate about ideas from this story. Normally I cannot do that as I read a lot of romance and science nerds do not enjoy debating that, but this was great we started on one point and I brought in so many more. Much like the story it was deep and complex, and I found myself arguing over people just to get my point across, I explained it in different ways as the characters were so complex, they gave you strength from reading them. After we had our discussion we sat and talked and they all asked what book I had read as it must have been good to get me so impassioned, I explained that it was one I took a chance on and I hope many more people will. Journeys through TimeSpace has once again brought us along on a jam packed journey, one that has you guessing and thinking at every turn, it is a busy story and there is a lot going on, but the author manages to keep it all together and as long as you aren’t easily distracted when reading you are able to keep up well (even if you are do try as I am a flicker on the tv while I read and I managed to keep up with it okay). This has a great sucking power as I will be thinking of something while I’m at work, and then all of a sudden, I will be thinking about who will win the battle and who I’m invested in. The only other thing to add is what an imagination this author must have, it always surprises me when I read sci-fi and fantasy as I figure the authors minds must never stop to be filled with such amazing landscapes and this author is no exception.

Book 1: This is a sci-fi/fantasy in which there are multiple storylines following different characters in different universes, realities and timelines. Each is very different and draws on various ancient mythologies which I really enjoyed. Although confusing to follow, I appreciated having to engage more with the story. I also liked the world-building, which was extremely complex, although it was at times more descriptive and wordy than immersive. The ending was definitely action-packed, and the weaving of the story becomes clear in the way the end is tied up but leaves you wanting more.
Book 2: Having read the first book in this series, I really enjoyed this second one. There’s so much action and it’s a really interesting take on consciousness and time and Multiverse, and I love how time travel is connected with reincarnation. I definitely found this book easier to get into than the first one, because the characters were already set up so the time/space conundrum was less confusing. The relationships between some of the characters could have been developed more, or more conflict added. An original, transportive story.

Are you looking for a box set that is scifi fantasy and full of adventure? Say no more, definitely check out this box set!! The covers of these books are beautiful too and really catch my eye. Sci Fi is not my normal genre to read, but I decided to branch out and give this a try and I am very thankful and happy that I did!
First off I really just commend the author for adding a Character List at the beginning of the book as this was very helpful in book 1 of Journeys Through Spacetime. There are many characters with different POVs and so much detail, this really made me think I wanted to be part of this story in the book. I love the action, adventure, mixed with betrayal all wrapped into this book. The author did such a fantastic job on details and having different worlds revolving around all the characters.
For book 2 I definitely recommend reading book 1 first before reading this book, but the story is truly fantastic. Book 2 picks up where book 1 leaves. You really get more in detail the stories of the characters and their agendas. I feel like I was along side with Matt, Julia and Dan as they embark on quite a journey. Truly Wonderful story and i enjoyed the adventure and mystery.
The author has really done a fantastic job with just layers of characters and story-line for this epic adventure. I would definitely recommend reading the books in order and just cozy up tremendous read! Highly recommended

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!

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.

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.

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.
