What an amazing book! Just as much as the first book. Reading about Harry’s adventure with the cavepeople while he was “sleeping” was intriguing. I enjoyed the sociological touch to the story. Reading about Tristan waiting for Harry to wake and the time that passed (with it being so different) was cool because it is so different. The emotions can catch you just in the feels, like a roller coaster. The plot ran fairly smooth for being a time twist. It was easy to follow. The characters were interesting. Not really relatable but connectable, Harry was very easy to connect because he would help but try to stay invisible and not interfere. So worth reading. I would give it more than a 5 if I could. Highly recommend.
This series is something you will not want to put down and want to figure out how it is going to play out in the end!! The world-building and character development that the author produced for this series was top-notch. The author tackled the multiverse with multiple characters, who were pretty diverse in their personalities, with great skill! I truly enjoyed myself with this Science Fiction/Fantasy novel! Even though the author was well thought out and very enjoyable, I struggled a little with the back and forth reading of the multiverse groups. Then trying to remember what happened in the previous chapter/subsection when the change occurs to another point of view. I love the worlds he creates and his characters in these awesome universes! My favorites were the Isonian Empire and The United Commons of Eurotopia, as these particular universes caught my fancy! I love the Utopian feel of the United Commons of Eurotopia, and how the exploration into the new chapter unravels! I enjoy and yearn for a relationship like Rashella and Cysoro have!! The trouble that always seems to find the protagonists keep you on edge and hopeful that they will do what it takes to live up to the expectations placed on them. There is more to the story than what is on the surface and hopefully, you as the reader can find the hidden gems!

The Traveler: Book Two is the second instalment in The Traveler series by Deborah Dugan. As with the first book, it is a sci-fi fantasy with time travel, adventure, plenty of originality and imagination, tension, and intrigue- making for a highly creative read . This is the second book in the series and follows The Traveler in their journey, so in saying that I highly recommend reading the first book in the series before starting on this one. The first book will help ground you in the storyline, as well as provide interesting and important details that will help enhance your reading experience of this book. As we discovered in Book One, The Traveler is an ancient ‘being’ who has travelled the universe and has taken on various forms over the millennia’s, using these ‘experiences’ as a means to gaining knowledge and power. I felt this second story was even more complex, impactful, and emotional than the first. I felt it also had a lot more depth and development than the first- the author has really found her groove with the story and character/s. I enjoyed the first book, but this second book is better still. Another unique, interesting, and somewhat thought-provoking read. Happy reading!

Daire’s Devils was not in my normal genre of reading, and have not read anything before by this author, but I am so impressed. Danielle Ackley-McPhail creates a wonderful mix of characters that are realistic and relatable. The reader can’t help fall in love with the comradery and quick humor between the characters. There is also great works building, much of that world created in space. There is a lot of information in the book concerning characters and other information, and that sometimes muddled the story a bit, but it is all relevant and useful to the story itself. Overall, Daire’s Devils is a great, fast-paced read full of twists and turns, drama, but also friendship. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future!

This is a coming-of-age a Sci Fi dystopian novella and is the prequel to The Industrial Age trilogy. It is a futuristic tale set on other planets. It soon becomes known that not all is as it seems. Climate change crisis, pollution and technology cause damage and large corporations are out for themselves. To that end they will hunt those who have different abilities that may hinder their desired outcome. It is a dangerous enemy and one who will stop at nothing to win. Drama, political agendas, struggles, science, genetic modifications, greed and fortune are all things that this tale has that make it thought provoking.

Tavormina – Review by Jenni Bishop
This is the authors second book, and it is just as good as the first one. It is a Sci Fi fantasy story that Sci Fi fans will enjoy. The authors creative visual is unusually different and uniquely quirky and different, but it works. It is not just a story it is an experience. The tale is original, and it captivates it audience. The Traveler is a fascinating character. It is a timeless ancient being. This is imaginative storytelling whilst exploring a great unknown. Once again, her passion shines through for this genre in her writing. The Traveler has a lot to share and those he meets have a lot to learn.
I absolutely loved the previous novel, and this one was certainly no different. I loved the story in this one, the flow of the story was more heavier than the first one, but it made me really love it. I love this authors way of writing, she really brings the story to life, and really mesmerized the reader fully in body and mind.
The Traveler is a wonderful being, this one as I have said was heavier in the sense of the things he has gone in the previous vs this one. Things he is faced with and emotions behind them, really make you feel. As the Traveler did as well. it was not all candy and sugar canes. The story was real as it can get and you literally feel everything! His impact though on the characters he meets in the story were truly impacting as well. I found even more so in this one than the previous. The journey you take in this one with The Traveler is one beyond your imagination! Loved this one just as much as I did with the previous novel!
If you didn’t get the wonderful enjoyment of the previous book in the series, I do say you should look into it. I really loved this one, and I certainly highly recommend this book as well as the series to anyone that wants an out of this world adventure. And defiantly look up the author, their a high recommendation too!
I really loved the writing of this book, and how things had flowed out. I was hooked into the whole story line and how things went by. It was well done, and the writing and the characters flowed very nicely. I was very impressed, and the story kept me very interested as I read.
Celeste was a main contribute to the story in my eyes. I loved her mind and how she really thought and saw the word. She was your normal teenager I found in a small way , she wanted more than she had going on in her life What she was ca[able of though, I found very intriguing I found. I enjoyed the excitement and the suspense as I read through, it had a lot of moments you weren’t sure where things would lead to next. The side characters really added to the story line as well, everyone was easy to love, except maybe those who meant hard. But they still made the story what it was! Loved it!
Wonderful and intriguing story from start to finish. i could not ask for a concept of writing that was better. I defiantly am going to be looking up more books by this wonderful author. I highly recommend this book, I truly believe it is one that will be enjoyed by all. Has a bit of everything.

Celeste is set to inherit her family’s hotel, which she doesn’t want, in this dystopian story. There is danger ahead as she sets off to the city thinking she will find more. This is a well-written tale that makes you go hmm…her family has a genetic oddity in the DNA that can sense carbon footprints and the bad guy wants them dead. That makes for an exciting thrill. Celeste has a few adventures and meets some unique personalities along the way. They are well-developed and quirky. She’s a newer author to me and this is a prequel novella. I will be reading the next in the series. I love the concept. I enjoyed the book. If you enjoy YA books, dystopian books or just plain reading, give this a shot. It’s a quick read. I highly recommend it.

Tavormina – Review by Shelly Kittell
A mysterious being of immense power and wisdom appears in the minds of inhabitants across the vast MultiVerse of space and time to provide both warning and encouragement to fellow souls.
An exciting journey of adventure and discovery develop for these inhabitants as a sword master’s son, a powerfully enlightened Queen, a skilled warrior, an “ordinary” college student from Earth, a reptilian humanoid scientist, and a wise and beautiful leader of a utopian world use newly acquired knowledge and skills to battle evil forces intent on ensuring reality forms as they intend.
Puzzlement ensues as special mentors appear and seem to defy what reality means. Wielding godlike powers, these teachers help illuminate the secrets of all creation.
With the fate of the entire MultiVerse at stake, which side will become the victor in the end?
Journeys Through TimeSpace
As a powerful leader of a planet in the vast MultiVerse of time and space begins preparations for implementing his plan, young former college students from Earth are dispatched to a magical hidden place in the Himalayas to begin their own preparations.
Each side of this battle for the fate of Earth and her inhabitants must secure ancient treasures. Immense obstacles confront both sides as they work to obtain these powerful artifacts.
Not only must our young Earth heroes learn new knowledge and skills associated with ancient wisdom traditions, but they must travel to both Earth’s past and future to find the treasures needed to defend their world against a powerful enemy.
Secret Earth organizations are also players in this thrilling adventure. These ancient groups have been adversaries for hundreds of years. Their long-term battle becomes intense as Earth’s fate draws closer.
As the clock ticks, can Earth’s defenders succeed, or will the powerful reptilian humanoid leader and his followers achieve their plan for reality across the MultiVerse of time and space?
Journeys Through AllCreation
An ancient prophecy foretells the diabolical plans of an exceedingly intelligent and powerful being. To ensure reality continues to unfold as desired, the ‘god’ entity will utilize the innate powers contained in the Dokkaebi-of-all-Creation to destroy various universes that make up the MultiVerse.
Celestial beings most capable of stopping these plans for destruction become trapped in an alternate reality. Can they escape this illusion before their fates are sealed forever?
Former twins from the lost continent of Atlantis will play pivotal roles in countering the threat of total annihilation for untold numbers of lives across the MultiVerse. Will they be able to help save their current home worlds and the mentors who have taught them so much?
A beautiful and enlightened queen is enlisted in the team’s quest to find an ancient artifact that could assist them in locating the Master Mage. This wizard is their only real hope for defeating the former celestial leader. Can this strange and unassuming being provide what is needed?
While the outcome cannot be fully predicted from the discovered text and images, both sides prepare for an inevitable confrontation as the ancient prophecy plays out. As ‘gods’ and mortals face off in the battle for the future of all creation, which ideals and forces will reign supreme?
James enjoys mountain biking, traveling, spending wonderful family time with his wife and daughter, and truly experiencing this reality we all share. He also values his extended family and great friends.
As an avid student and explorer of ancient wisdom traditions, he wrote the Journeys Through books to convey ancient concepts through the time-honored tradition of story-telling. As the first story progressed, James found true joy in writing fiction and bringing characters and their worlds to life and plans to continue writing more stories.

I enjoyed this shorter story. This is a newer author for me which I enjoyed and look forward to seeing what is next for this author. I enjoyed being pulled into the story by the characters. Celeste is a great, strong, teenager who really just wanted some excitement in her life. What happens when she finds a small village and the townspeople are willing to show her more than she ever realized. When she realizes that she may be out of depth in this small village, what will she do? I enjoyed her character and what she brought to the story. I also enjoyed how connectable and supportive she was as well as the other characters. I enjoyed watching their growth throughout the story which added to the story. This is a well written story that was both entertaining and easy to read. It is a great pick up. I highly recommend this book.

Tavormina – Review by Bobbi Wagner
In a remote country village, seventeen-year-old Celeste yearns for excitement. When the bright lights of a distant city beckon, she makes her way there, and city folk show Celeste more of the world than she ever imagined.
But these people have their reasons to cozy up to a country teenager, because Celeste’s family carries an ancient genetic ability to track carbon emissions by sight. The trait is powerful enough to undercut Turaset’s oil industry, and the titan running that industry wants Celeste’s family killed. Soon, she realizes how out of her depth she is.

Tavormina
As the universe recovers from the last confrontation between those from Earth and those from another planet with an opposing view of how life should be, those living in a mystical place find an ancient prophecy which speaks of dire consequences to the MultiVerse brought on by an all powerful “God like” creature who will use 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, trapped by the “God like” creature as a retaliatory move for a past action. This has consequences as another is released so that they can be trapped and as happy as that individual is, disorientation and adjustments need to be made before the plan can be fully enacted.
As a set of ancient twins from the lost continent of Atlantis are called upon to again reunite and tackle the issue revealed by the ancient prophecy, as well as search for the trapped celestial beings, they embark on another journey away from their loved ones. Along the way they recruit a beautiful Queen who has access to ancient sites of wisdom and relics which will aid them on their quest, as well as other team members whose skills are needed and mentioned in the prophecy as well.
The overall goal is to search for the Master Mage who will aid them and stop this creature in its tracks, however, other players are preparing their own manoeuvres and training for their goals, but whether they will align with the prophecy is unknown.
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 is a sci-fi fantasy of epic proportions as all the players race against time to either bring destruction, or salvation to all the worlds within the MultiVerse, as you are pulled into the journey with them and are carried along to its conclusion.

I have been looking forward to reading this third instalment to the Journeys Through series and I really enjoyed it. I think this is probably my favourite from the series – again the author transported me to another world with his wonderfully detailed writing. The story was action packed from the start. It was great to see recurring characters as well and because of this I would highly recommend that this series is read in order. I definitely think this book tied together the series well. I liked the uniqueness of Matt and Rashella’s relationship, their character development was really well done. Overall a great read and I look forward to more from this author again in the future.

This is the second book in this series which I enjoyed just as much as the first. I highly suggest reading the previous book before this one to help your enhancement of this series and the author’s writing skills. This is a book that pulled me in from the beginning. It is an engaging, full of action, fast paced story that was hard to put down. I enjoyed how the characters brought the story to life. The Traveler is my favorite character as he is strong and I felt for him in parts. I enjoyed his growth as well as how supportive all the characters were to each other. This is a well written story that took me on a journey of challenges and a question of who you really are. This is a great story that I really enjoyed. I highly recommend this book.
Amazing third book to the series! I really love that we get to read more about Matt’s past and future as he is on a mission. Getting to learn more about all of the characters and the MultiVerse was very interesting. This was definitely a page turner with everything coming to a head. All of the growth and transformations that take place are very well described so you are able to visualize every detail. Really great storytelling from the author! Definitely recommend reading the series in order!

This book is the third installment of the series and all I can say is wow. The series just keeps getting better and better. Once again we are drawn into the stories of multiple individuals that are interwoven into an epic adventure. It is a roller coaster of adventure and drama that leaves you anxious as you read to find out what will happen. I enjoyed my journey in the world created by the author and I look forward to reading more in this series.

This book finds Matt’s journey taking a different path from Julia and Dan. He has to journey through different universes to save not only ours but also those in the MultiVerse. When his friends are kidnapped, he is greatly tested. His archenemies are trying to distract Matt from his purpose of saving the world. Will he be able to focus on what needs to be done and trust others to rescue his loved ones? Or will he let his emotions get the better of him?
I enjoyed this book as much as the others! It is a fascinating read in how you see past characters come back into the story and how timelines feed into the completion of their paths. I appreciated reading the thoughts of the characters as they face challenges and how they also give different perspectives in conflict. I felt like by reading their thought processes, my way of thinking was challenged.
Hopefully, we will see more stories by this author!

Having read and enjoyed the previous two books in this series I was eagerly looking forward to this third novel, and I was definitely not disappointed. In this story the exciting but dangerous adventure continues, with Earth and other worlds in the MultiVerse in danger of disappearing from reality. An ancient prophecy had foretold of diabolical plans of an “exceedingly intelligent and powerful being”. However, the outcome is unclear and so a mix of gods and mortals battle for the future of all creation. This wonderfully written novel is an exciting, enjoyable and engaging read with an original and complex storyline which had me hooked from start to finish.
The plot twists kept me gripped until the very last page, and I felt completely immersed in the story due to the authors descriptive narrative. The detailed world building brings the settings and characters vividly to life. I enjoyed ‘catching up’ with some familiar faces and also meeting some new ones. Each character is unique and had their own intriguing backstory which adds to the overall narrative. I couldn’t put this book down and thoroughly recommend it, although I would suggest reading the series in order for maximum understanding and enjoyment.

Book 3 is here and was absolutely amazing! This series has been great and has taken Sci-Fi to another level. The character growth made me understand their plights even better than before. The way the worlds were still as complex but even more developed let me gain a better understanding of the societies themselves. Book 3 took us places we had yet to be, and I loved every moment of it. The author left room for later installments or possibly it leading into another series. Either way I was very excited with the way this book went, and I only hope that there is more ahead.

This series is exceptionally well-written! It draws a reader in from word one, completely engaging every reader with the complexity of the characters. The intricacy of the worlds the author builds is absolutely amazing! The originality of the journeys kept me reading and I just had to see what came next! I wish it was a world I could tour myself, and characters that I could make friends with. Their growth is realistic but they never lose the complexity that endeared them to me in the first place! There were also many intense ideas that made me want to save them so I could think more about them later! All in all, his writing is exquisite and will not disappoint!

When The Traveler awakes from his latest stasis period, he tries to remain hopeful about what’s to come. But simple hope might not be enough to survive another lifetime and all the chaos that goes along with it. This time around, The Traveler will be forced into some challenging situations, including a physical configuration that leaves him shaken to his core and wondering who he even is.

Fans of time travel and multiple parallel plot lines will love these books!
Although confusing at first, you quickly are able to see all of our characters and keep track of everyone. It does take a moment to get going but once it starts it doesn’t stop.
All of the worlds are beautifully described and truly make you feel immersed where certain characters are.
During book two Matt, Julia and Dan are training to get the traveling through time and space absolutely correct. While Thomas wants a much more sinister end.
The twist that happens at about halfway through this book changes everything for everyone. Although they may not like each other they must work together.
These stories are amazing with their world building and making you understand the characters and all details of each part of the worlds.

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. The second book in the Journeys Through series picks right up where the first book ends. It was an exciting book filled with danger, treasures, travel, time travel, and an ultimate supreme that isn’t communicating. I had problems following all the characters the same as I did in the first book, but luckily in the beginning of the book is a list of the characters and which universe they belonged to. My issues following the characters didn’t take away from my enjoyment of the book. Both books in this series really made me think outside the box about what I believe. Why can’t there be more than one universe? Why can’t one supreme being be in charge of them all? These books made me think in ways I never have before.

I had a hard time putting down this series. The author’s ability to not only create several complex universes and characters, but tie them together and have them flow naturally is spectacular! I fell in love with so many characters in these books. I loved seeing them develop as they learned how to truly harness their abilities. Readers are drawn in immediately as we are teased with each universe’s main characters. It made me yearn to know more, thus I could not put it down! These are complex books, so I did read a few chapters over to make sure I did not miss any key information, but totally worth it!

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

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

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

Finally, A box set where EACH book is worthy of being in the set! This author is SO good at creating an entire multiverse of characters, species, and worlds that are unique and different than anything you have read before. Rather than go on and on about how epic this set is, I will post my reviews for the individual books.
Journeys Through SpaceTime is a complex and intricately woven web of many different worlds/dimensions and therefore, characters. I had a difficult time in the beginning remembering who was who, and keeping up with all the diverse characters, each with their own unique personalities, lives, thoughts, and even worlds at times. It almost is reminiscent of Game of Thrones, in the writing style and the way it follows multiple timelines, simultaneously. I was curious how the author would be able to bring all these diverse characters together, to make it blend seamlessly and not feel awkward, and found I was enjoying THAT mystery as much as the book itself! Not a light read for the average reader, but I found myself indulged and wanting to know what happened next, and to who! I was pleasantly surprised, as Sci-Fi is not my typical choice of genre, and cannot wait to dive into part two, Journeys Through TimeSpace! I think this one deserves a 5 star, it is not easy to have so many complex personalities that are so well written!
This is the second installment in the Journeys series by James Talisman. In book one, we are thrown into a multi-verse, where characters come from different places and backgrounds. In this book, the battle to save Earth continues, but this battle is a little different. Instead of only traversing across the multi-verse, the characters are now traveling through time as well. I highly suggest reading book 1 (Journeys through SpaceTime) before heading out on this adventure, as it will make much more sense. I was very happy to see some of my favorite characters from book 1 return (but I won’t spoil who!), and learn more about who they are, and why. I was so invested in this series, wondering and hoping along with the characters, that good will overcome evil (in a sense). I am not typically a sci-fi reader but this series had me on the edge of my seat and I flew through the pages without effort. I truly hope to see a 3rd book in this set, and 110% recommend this series to everyone! 10 out of 10 stars, easily.
I have been invested in this series (and Author) from the 1st book, and just like the previous two, I could not find a “stopping point” to quit reading for the night. The worlds and characters in this series can seem a bit hard to follow AT FIRST but once you get a hang of who is who, and from where (or when), it flows very nicely. This series is SO unique, you are not only following one character, or even one group of characters, in a single timeline. This is different species. Different Worlds. This is a MULTIVERSE of characters and dilemmas. Think of Game of Thrones meets Sci-Fi. You have the twisted and intertwined storylines, that all come together to form a neat and tidy plot. I have never encountered another author that makes such complex world building and creativity seem so flawless and natural. This is past meets future, peace meets war, and simple meets complex, all at once. Pick this one (and the previous 2 books) up and you will be in for a whirlwind of fantasy heaven!

This was a really good read and continuation of this series. While this can technically me read as a standalone, it makes more sense to read the series in order because characters make a reappearance and it references past books. While this story is enthralling and grabs you and the author does an a aging job of crafting and painting the various worlds and universes in this book, I had a time getting into it because it’s been so long since I’ve read the first 2. However this book was a really good sci-fi/fantasy mash up and I really did enjoy it!
