I read James Talisman’s first Journey Through Book and thoroughly enjoyed it. You can read this one even if you haven’t read the first, but there are some repeat characters and I believe you’ll enjoy it better than if you didn’t read it in order. I love how this book grabs you from the beginning and sucks you into another world. The writing style is very descriptive, making it easy to vividly picture everything. Overall another very entertaining read!

James Talisman delivers another great read in the second book in the Journeys Through series, Journey Through TimeSpace! As in the first book, the book is spread throughout the MultiVerse, though focusing on less characters this time around made it a much easier read. I also loved being able to watch some of the characters from the previous novel develop more, making me enjoy the novel even more than the previous one. It is the perfect novel for any SciFi lover or Marvel lover, containing adventures through space, time travel, and a cliffhanger at the end that makes the reader know that there is much more to come! I know I look forward to reading the next installment, and I think many others will as well!

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!

I will say when I heard of this book I did a serious excited squeal. I was and am a huge fan of the first in the series. I am a person who will try any genre, but when I read fantasy or sci fi I am going to my inner roots, yes I am a nerd and geek and I am proud of it. Needless to say these books by this author always go deep in my inner interests of my heart and seriously love this series!
This novel was the second installment of the series the author has written. Needless to say there is no disappointment what so ever to be given to ourselves as the readers! The author wrote an amazing first book and this one only continued the same effects and feelings one can get from reading the prior.
For me what I loved a lot on this book is not just the action and quick pace the story brings you and the strong want to know what will happen to our beloved characters, but I loved the details the author gives us of the multi verse universe the story unfolds upon. As I rea through this one, for me the first one gave life lessons I found and made me think of certain things of the reality of which we live in. This one did the same, doing some things we can not just assume we will not pay a price will we?
The intriguing side of this story that it focused around two teams. One that was put together that had to find a treasure that was this special stone that could very well possibly destroy everything along with life as we know it. A note for me to add is that this team was not hunting on Earth.
Now on Earth, we have another team that was put together. This team on Earth was searching for a special crystal that was in shattered pieces and may be ones hope to save the world from total chaos and destruction. As well as very well being a chance for humanity and Earth to survive as we are now.
As the story progressed of course the teams interact and meet along the way. Honestly when the teams basically interact to me that was the biggest point in the story. I personally hooked in that sheer moment of disbelief and had to continue reading. I could not literally put this book down and once again this author has helped add a novel to my bookshelf of favorite books.
This book in itself was very quick and action packed. It was so easy to comprehend and understand know the characters in who which they were. And who was good and who was more of a bad character sort to say. The author has true kill how to hook his readers and keep them reading as well guessing till the last second of what decisions will bring forth. And what the general morale of the characters bring to impact upon the readers, I personally loved that aspect. The author is talented and writes a story I believe anyone who reads this can enjoy. I m a nerd yes, but I have already told friends of the first novel that are not into sci fi genre and a few got back to me they really enjoyed it. Needless to say I will be doing the same with this installment of the series!
Again loved this book. Loved the writing technique and the detail the author brings to characters. I loved the universe parallels as well. Needless to add, the action packed part of it really kept you on the edge of your couch or seat and to keep reading to see what actions would bring forth next! I am really enjoying reading the books by this author and I will most certainly continue to do so in the future!

This book was so good! I was so excited to read this after having read the first one! It definitely did not disappoint! The creativity and world building were just as captivating as the first book! The growth of the characters was realistic without losing the complexity that endeared them to me in the first place. The artifacts and the journeys to find them were so original and I wanted to go with them to see everything!

I really enjoyed reading the second book in this series! I felt like it was non-stop action the whole time!
The transitions are well written as the characters travel through time and space. I felt like I was right there with them experiencing it at the same time. I felt the characters’ relationships grow deeper and stronger as they try to save the world, too. The last couple of twists were unexpected but they also brought the whole story almost full circle with the first book.
Happily, I expect a third book or at least a prequel telling Matt’s story?!?

Man! I never knew I could love sci-fi adventure stories. James Talisman has become one of my favorite authors. This second story picks up where the first left off. (It’s easier to follow a long if you have read the first book Journeys Through SpaceTime) Action packed into every page. Friendships that last a life time. A quest to find the treasure! And of course the images that James paints of the worlds is astounding. His imagination has taken mine to a whole new level! I can picture the scenes in my mind and I want to be there. Right in the middle of the action. I read it on my kindle but this will be a series I will buy a physical copy of so I can really get down into the story when I read it again! Highly recommend James Talisman!

Journeys through space time by James Talisman is an amazing story!! The author did an incredible job bringing multiple worlds and characters to life. An interesting plot that will keep you hooked until the very end. Sensitive readers beware there are scenes of sexual violence that my be triggering for some. Would highly recommend this book.

This is not my normal genre, but decided to give it a whirl. I have a hard time keeping the universes cohesive in my head, luckily there is a helpful guide at the beginning of the book. I can get lost in a romance book, this one really made me think. Someone from every universe got the same message from an all knowing power, “I am sorry, but I must leave you for awhile.” They were all told to rely on their teachings and meditation helped them do this. They make their own futures, and with a war brewing, which side will win? Makes me wonder, what messages would I receive or find if I took the time to mediate and reflect? What else is out there? Could there really be parallel universes? I look forward to the next book, thank you James Talisman, for spinning a tale that made me dig inside myself.

This is the second book in this author’s Journeys Through series, a series that can be read out of order but for reader enjoyment I would suggest reading book 1 first.
Right from the beginning this author pulls you in with all of the detail! In the first few chapters I did find that the amount of detail is slightly overwhelming as the storyline flips from different POV’s, however, I was able to quickly piece everything together as I continued reading. I am in awe with all of the detail and background information, you can clearly tell that this author has spent countless hours researching this topic.
I enjoyed following along with some of the characters from the first book and I also enjoyed all of the surprise elements and the shocking moments that had me sitting on the edge of my seat. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a one of a kind read!

Journeys Through Spacetime is the first book 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 book 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.

Journeys Through TimeSpace is the second book in the Journeys Through series by James Talisman. 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.

This book is amazing! It had me hooked from the start, I couldn’t put the book down. It was very well written. You get lost in the world and the people in it. It takes people from all parts of life and has them connected by one thing. I loved that each character is different, but they are all fighters in the different worlds that they live on. For this book to be this author’s first, it is outstanding!

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!

Being a fantasy/sci-fi novel, Journeys Through SpaceTime is not my typical go-to choice for reading. However, I always love a good world-building series, and this book delivered. Author James Talisman’s debut novel explores the classic Good vs Evil theme, in a very original yet comfortably familiar manner. As indicated by the title, the story takes place over different periods in time. Readers will follow many different characters, points of view, and story lines. All are joined by the over lying central idea that we are all One and connected in the universe. Although I enjoy flipping back and forth between perspectives, this book does it consistently and it did take some time to establish the actual plot due to the level of character description used to develop so many points of view. The language and thinking of the characters is very formal, which may have been a tool used by the author to show how the characters are all connected in the MultiVerse. I was left with the impression that the book could be easily adapted into a TV series, as the chapters felt like episodes and many of the character’s story lines would make excellent separate books on their own. By the end, I had fallen in love with many of the characters and looked forward to discovering how the story would unfold. I also look forward to reading book two.

I’ll be honest Journeys Through SpaceTime by James Talisman is not something I usually read; I normally stick with thriller books. However, I do not regret branching out and trying something new. Many things are happening, a lot of action, some danger, and mystery also. I wasn’t quick to figure what would happen. I thought I could guess; usually, I am pretty good at it, but Journeys Through SpaceTime kept me guessing the whole time. There are many characters, but it’s not so many that it is overwhelming because James Talisman provided a character list at the beginning of the book that really helps to understand who everyone is. The amount of detail written about the characters and what they’re facing/dealing with is so good. I felt like I was there with them like I have known these characters for a long time. It’s worth the read, and I don’t think anyone would be disappointed by taking the time to read it. I would encourage everyone to read it, even if it were a genre you would normally read. Leap and try it out!

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!!

Journeys Through SpaceTime is the first book in the Journeys Through series by James Talisman.
I didn’t know what to expect when I started reading this book. The book is set in a ‘multiverse’ that consists of different worlds and spans across different times. What unites the chosen characters is the voice. Sounds confusing, but it soon makes sense. I love the concept of this story and for me, it more than lives up to my expectations. The characters, like the book itself, are full of layers and personality. It is the kind of book where you need to pay attention. There are a lot of characters and events to keep track of, but it is definitely worth the investment of your time.
It is hard to believe that this is the author’s debut novel, his writing is engaging and experienced. It is obviously an idea that was a long time coming, it is so well developed. I can’t wait to read the next installment!

An incredible read for Sci-Fi fans! Journeys Through Space Time is intriguing and filled with mystery. The book is comprised of multiple main characters and complex story lines. From the voice in their heads to the mysterious characters they meet along the way, you’ll enjoy reading about each of their journeys and even find yourself loving some of the MCs. James Talisman provides excellent details in this book that make you feel like you’re there right along with them.

One voice links the multiple beings from multiply dimensions but can they find the meaning behind it.
Can they with help from special mentors along the way battle against the evil which is trying to destroy them and overcome to help the good win.
I have to say this is not normally a genre that interests me at all but I was recommended it to read and although at first it took a few chapters to get into it I thoroughly enjoyed the overall story. The book opens up to make you think about your views and aspects of multi realities and space and it was a brilliant world that was conjured up with the pages of this book.
I do have to say if you are not good at reading or following multiply perspectives and narratives in a book this may not be a book for you. Although this add the dimension to the book that I really enjoyed. The characters where so different and unique in the way they were portrayed and written that the story flowed brilliantly and engaging.
As this the first book in this authors collection I thought it was a great effort and will continue to read the next book in this progression through reality.

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 has me revved up for the sequel.

Journeys through Spacetime is the first book in the series. It sets the tone for what to expect and boy did it deliver. This is my first sci-fi book I’ve read and I can’t wait for more. It has multiple characters in multiple universes and the way the Author gets down to the even tiniest detail is amazing. The story has danger of course, it has a lot of mystery and just a little bit of excitement. While reading the book I came to really enjoy it because it kept me on the edge of my seat. I look forward to reading the rest of the books in the series. I definitely feel like this book deserves 5 stars.

Journey Through TimeSpace by James Talisman is the 2nd book in the series. I read both back to back to assure I give my honest opinion on both. The author is very good at setting up the characters and the stories, it was difficult for me to become fully immersed in the book. This second installment was better than the first for me but still was a struggle on my end to be fully engaged. My personal feelings on spiruality and meditation really got in my way of being able to get fully immersed into the story. While this is a great book for many and the author is very well versed in his style, I just felt it was an ok read.

Journey Through SpaceTime by James Talisman was a difficult read for me. I typically can jump right into a book but I found this very hard to keep my interest and was easily distracted while reading. Perhaps it was trying to get into each individual storyline and character grouping. I don’t typically delve into this type of story but I do enjoy multiverse type of subjects. With this, I was hoping for more crossover into the multiple worlds and dimensions that the author lays out for us. All the meditation was too much for me, but this is from a perspective where I personally don’t find value in this form of mental awareness. The author is very good at describing the multiple worlds and people but it became too descriptive and longwinded for me in some places. I was hopeful for more of the action I see from other reviews, but half way through, I felt it was lacking in what I consider action. I do feel this book is good for some readers, but just ok for me.

Journeys Through Spacetime (Journeys Through Book 1) By James Talisman 4 Stars
Journeys Through Spacetime is unlike any book you have ever read. It is classified as science fiction/fantasy but it also has spirituality woven throughout. It really is an original story. It takes place on different planets and separate times. Many reminding me of different eras on Earth; Egyptians, Japanese warriors and ninjas, gladiators and present day. There are many characters and multiple points of view which are constantly changing. This I found made it difficult to follow the story. Just as I was getting into it, we changed places and characters. Parts of the book felt like I was watching an episode of Star Trek. Readers who are interested in sci-fi will love this book. Personally I’m not a fan but I decided to step outside the box a little and try something different. I do believe in mind over matter so the book intrigued me.
The author gave most of his characters a very formal speech which felt unnatural to me. It turned me off and annoyed me because no one speaks like that. I’m willing to forgive this because the story takes place in different time eras and planets so it is a possibility. Personally I felt that there were too many storylines and there were only a couple that I was interested in. Cassius and Hirosho drew me in the most. Hirosho and the shadow demon could have been a book unto itself.
Honestly I wasn’t sure how to rate this boom. It’s not a three but not quite a four. I finally decided to give it a four stars. I felt that being a debut novel for this author, it was good. The concept was original and well thought out. I wasn’t going to let my personal preferences and tastes affect the rating.

Journeys Through SpaceTime by James Talisman 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.

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!

James Talisman has the gift of descriptive writing! I am normally not big into the Sci-Fi genre, but Talisman’s writing style and character development, along with his story building, had me excitedly turning pages. It did take me a while to understand the immenseness of the characters and worlds in this book, but Talisman’s talented use of descriptive words had me feeling as though I were in the multiverse along with them. Journeys Through SpaceTime is an amazing work of art full of otherworldly characters, amazing settings, and a sense wonder at the vastness of life and our interconnectedness with everything around us. I don’t think I’ll be switching my overall reading to this genre anytime soon, but I will definitely be seeking out more from Mr. Talisman.

A must read! I am normally not a fan of sci-fi fantasy novels, but Journeys Through SpaceTime 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 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 book and feel like giving up I urge you to keep reading. James Talisman really brings all these seemingly unrelated events to fruition. I thoroughly enjoyed the complexity of the inter dimensional threads that combined the characters. He 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 James does exactly that! I also find the parallels between our world and the universes James creates particularly fascinating. Believe me this book is a hidden gem and I cannot wait for the next installment!
