Summing Up "Time's Edge" (Bk 2) & "Time's Divide" (Bk 3)

Why I Chose This Book:  Yes, I'm lumping these two book summaries together.  I read the first book and, intrigued by the characters and the plot-line, I immediately spent my hard-earned money on the sequel.

Book Rating (1-5 Stars):  3 stars.  I waded through this book, even though there was more time travel talk than in the first book, which weighed me down immensely, and regretfully, I went on to the third book.

Setting of the Book: All over the place; though mostly between 1853 (Chicago) and present day (DC)

About the Author: Rysa Walker's first book ever written was the first book of this series, Timebound.  For more information about her, I would recommend using Google ;)

Plot of the book in one sentence: Kate is traveling through time & space to stop the leader of a religious cult from destroying the world.

If I Could Rename the Book:  Proof that Sequels Aren't As Good As the Original

Genre: Sci-Fi

Point of View: First Person (Kate)

Favorite Character: Probably Kate

Least Favorite Character: This guy Simon

Other (Main Characters): Same as the first book

If the Book was made into a movie, who would play the main characters? 
Same as the first book

Favorite Scene of the Book: When Kate went back in time to 1853 to the Chicago World Fair

Least Favorite Scene of the Book: When Kate was in the "World Fair Hotel" trying to get away from H.H. Holmes the serial killer.  (He really did kill a bunch of women in 1853 during the Chicago World Fair!)

Favorite Quote in the Book: None

Did I like the Ending? Eh.  Although, I suppose, enough to buy the third book.

Which of my friends could I see loving this book? Don't care, because I won't recommend it.

Which of my friends could I see hating this book? Don't care.

This book left me feeling: Heavy-headed (lol headache as a feeling)

How Long Did It Take Me to Read It: It seemed like forever.



Why I Chose This Book:  I'm a glutton for punishment, I guess.

Book Rating (1-5 Stars):  2 stars.  Too much time-travel talk, and it got really hard for me to follow.  So I didn't even finish it.

Setting of the Book: All over the place.

About the Author: Nothing new here.

Plot of the book in one sentence:  Kate, along with a new group called the Fifth Column, work together to take down the Cyrists.

If I Could Rename the Book:  A Book That Christina Couldn't Even Finish

Genre: Sci-Fi

Point of View: Still Kate (first-person)

Favorite Character: Still Kate

Least Favorite Character: Still Simon.  Although Pru is pretty up there (or down there, I guess.)

Other (Main Characters): Same as the first two books.

If the Book was made into a movie, who would play the main characters? 
Same as the first two books.

Favorite Scene of the Book: There wasn't.

Least Favorite Scene of the Book: Couldn't tell ya.

Favorite Quote in the Book: N/A

Did I like the Ending? Also N/A, seeing as how I didn't finish it.

Which of my friends could I see loving this book? Who knows.

Which of my friends could I see hating this book? I could think of a few (many).

This book left me feeling: Frustrated!  Because I actually spent money on it!

How Long Did It Take Me to Read It: I think I wasted about 2 hours on it before I stopped.


Basically, life is short, so I really don't have time to waste on books I have no interest in finishing.  I thought about not reviewing these two books, but I figured the public has a right to know ;)
