4 stars, and wow, what a rollercoaster!

The thrilling conclusion to Across Time, this is a breath-taking read full of twists and turns that had my heart pounding from start to finish. Angst, drama, heartache and hope, and at the centre of it all is an incredible love story as Sarah and Henri’s heartwrenching story comes to its exciting finish.

This book picks up right where the first one picks up. I went back and reread the last few chapters of the last book, and I’m so glad I did because we are thrown right back into the action, and the story moves at a really fast pace. There is so much happening, and I couldn’t put my kindle down, reading into the early hours.

I won’t spoil anything, but OMG, this book was not what I was expecting. I raged and I cried and I raged and cried some more. The war is here, hardship is coming from all angles and nothing will be the same again. But in the midst of all of the drama, OMG, did I swoon! The love story is just gorgeous, and Henri absolutely stole my heart.

 

 

But at the heart of the story is the mysterious prophesy around Sarah/Amelie and the rest of the time travellers. A lot of questions are answered, but to be honest, I’m still really confused about a lot of it. I never got a really good handle on how the time travelling thing works, and trying to make sense of it did my head in so I eventually just gave up and read on without thinking about it too hard.

The ending took me by surprise and honestly, I’m really not sure how I feel about it. I’m still trying to process it all. But it does provide a good lead in to the Parallel Duet which was actually published before this one, but fits after it in terms of timeline and ties in very closely.

It’s an emotional rollercoaster that I both loved and hated at different times. My feelings are still all over the place, and though I still have questions, I loved Sarah and Henri’s story, which is beautifully written and full of emotion.

4 stars.
