𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐨𝐩𝐬𝐞: Na Nova York dos dias atuais, a magia antiga e natural está quase extinta. Os poucos que ainda têm afinidade com ela – os Mageus – vivem nas sombras, escondendo o que são. Além disso, qualquer Mageus que adentre Manhattan é capturado por uma armadilha: a Beira, uma barreira invisível que os deixa permanentemente presos à ilha. Atravessar a fronteira estabelecida pela Beira significa perder os poderes – e, frequentemente, a própria vida. A jovem Esta é uma ladra talentosa e cresceu sendo treinada para roubar artefatos mágicos da Ordem, organização misteriosa criadora da Beira. Esta também tem uma habilidade inata: manipular o tempo. A jovem é capaz de furtar objetos do passado, coletando-os antes mesmo que a Ordem perceba que ela está lá. Mas todo o treinamento de Esta tem sido para uma tarefa maior: viajar até o ano de 1902 para roubar um livro antigo. Acredita-se que o Livro contém todos os segredos da Ordem – e da Beira. A missão de Esta é furtá-lo antes que o Mago o destrua, garantindo assim um futuro melhor a todos os que têm afinidade com magia. Mas a Nova York do início do século XX em que Esta deve mergulhar é perigosa e sem leis, comandada por gangues e sociedades secretas. Um lugar em que é possível sentir magia até no ar que se respira. Nada é o que parece, nem mesmo o Mago. E, para salvar o próprio futuro, Esta deve trair a todos no passado – sem exceção.

𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐨𝐩𝐬𝐞: Em seu vigésimo sexto aniversário, Dana e seu marido estão de mudança para um novo apartamento. Em meio a pilhas de livros e caixas abertas, ela começa a se sentir tonta e cai de joelhos, nauseada. Então, o mundo se despedaça.

Dana repentinamente se encontra à beira de uma floresta, próxima a um rio. Uma criança está se afogando e ela corre para salvá-la. Mas, assim que arrasta o menino para fora da água, vê-se diante do cano de uma antiga espingarda. Em um piscar de olhos, ela está de volta a seu novo apartamento, completamente encharcada. É a experiência mais aterrorizante de sua vida... até acontecer de novo. E de novo.

Quanto mais tempo passa no século XIX, numa Maryland pré-Guerra Civil – um lugar perigoso para uma mulher negra –, mais consciente Dana fica de que sua vida pode acabar antes mesmo de ter começado.

Trilogia

𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐨𝐩𝐬𝐞: Os eventos da premiada Trilogia Chronos se iniciam quando Kate descobre que sua avó é uma historiadora viajante do tempo ― nascida alguns séculos à frente, mas presa ao presente por conta de um acidente ― e possui um artefato, um medalhão azul reluzente, que permite realizar saltos temporais para qualquer época e local.Tudo parece um absurdo no início, mas uma leve interferência na linha temporal faz com que os pais de Kate sumam do mapa e ela seja a próxima da lista. Arriscando sua vida, ela aceita a missão de tentar voltar no tempo para evitar um homicídio que é a chave de tudo e colocar as coisas no seu devido lugar. Mas se ela for bem sucedida, a interferência também terá um custo pessoal.Neste primeiro volume, o leitor é transportado para a Exposição Universal de 1893, em Chicago, quando a Roda Gigante foi apresentada pela primeira vez e o serial killer H. H. Holmes dirigia um hotel construído especialmente para receber os visitantes da feira (e sumir com seus corpos). Em meio a tantos fatos históricos e curiosos, Kate precisa agir pontualmente para não estragar nada, e ainda impedir a ascensão de um culto religioso bastante poderoso que ameaça afetar o universo como o conhecemos.

𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐨𝐩𝐬𝐞: — Meu povo gosta de dinheiro, carros, roupas, sapatos e outras coisas que até agora não vi aqui — retrucou ele com cara de deboche.

— Sim, mas temos muitas montanhas de pedras que vocês consideram valiosas para fins diferentes dos nossos, mas aqui elas são preciosas para nos fortalecerem como pessoas.

— Então o bem mais precioso de vocês é o ouro e outras preciosidades, não são muito diferentes de nós — concluiu ele.

— Não, Narciso, nosso bem mais precioso é o amor, sem ele não saberíamos aproveitar o poder da natureza, nem poderíamos nos desenvolver como seres humanos, nossas vidas seriam vazias e sem sentido. O amor é a única coisa que não pode faltar aqui, é o nosso alimento diário, o ar que respiramos é a base de tudo.

Kiernan Dunne - Chronos Files - by Rysa Walker

He would have been nearly eighty. He’s at a stadium wearing a Yankees cap, with a bunch of kids around him. Kiernan’s grin is as wide and happy as the one on the face of the little girl he holds on his lap. Does she know that Grandpa (Great-Grandpa?) has already seen that game? Probably more than once, in fact.

Weird & Wonderful Wednesday

This prequel to the Chronos Files series (which I haven’t yet read) takes place in the 1960s, but, the two main characters are time travelers. Madi Grace from the year 2136, and Chronos agent Tyson Reyes from 2304.

In 1965 Tyson realizes that a weird time shift has happened, and, history is no longer what it should be. Madi too, goes back to her timeline and realizes that millions of lives have been erased, but, most people don’t realize what has changed.

So, which one of them broke the timeline (or neither?), and, can they actually fix it so that it is what it’s supposed to be?

I mean, time travel books hurt my brain. Always have, always will, but, it’s a good hurt? Sometimes a fun hurt? This one was very Jeremy Bearimy, or Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey, or one of the other very descriptive ways to describe time travel. Madi is the ancestor of one of the characters in the rest of the Chronos Files series, and so, I didn’t feel like I was too lost (other than in the obvious ways). And, of course, now I have a whole new series that I can dive into as well. Brain, who needs a non time travel induced mooshy brain.

Now, Then, and Everywhen by Rysa Walker

Timeboud (by Rysa Walker)

I have not before ready any Rysa Walker. I didn't even know who she was until I stumbled over this book when searching good-reads for recommendations. Her writing style is wonderfully verbose when required by more sparse as the action set in. A literary tool that many writers simply don't use, or are unable to use. The pacing of this book is excellent. I have nothing but compliments for this.

The Story its self centres around Kate Pierce-Keller. A teenager who is living a pretty standard life for a teenager in the America of young adult fiction universes. She meets with her estranged grandmother and notices some strange jewellery that seems to glow.

Some things happen, then...

Seemingly un-related to anything she has a "dizzy spell" and poof! Her whole reality has been replaced but she isn't effected. She is now a stranger in a world that is seemingly doing quite well without her. Oh, except there's a now a new major religion in the world.

With no place to go, she returns to her grandmother, meets a boy falls in love and attempts to learn to use the "medallion" (afore mentioned glowing jewellery) to write this time line. The time travel takes her primarily back to 1893 World Fair where she has to puzzle out the order of events to complete her mission.

Kate is conveniently qualified for her new tasks being an enthusiastic martial arts student. Oh she is pretty good with computers too. And she seems to be above average intelligence... As well as being genetically predisposed to using time travel technology. Yeah. Don't think about any of this too much. It's supposed to be a fun read not a documentary.

Over all The Book is an easy read. My knowledge of American history is vague at best but I followed the story. I assumed most events were fictional but after finishing it I had a look at the font of all human knowledge (Encarta '98... I mean, wikipedia) and way more of it is rooted in actual history than ever would have guessed.

Its a huge complement to the writer that I enjoyed the book without the historical nostalgia that was no doubt expected.

I Enjoyed the love story(s) that were the main focus of all the character moments in the book as well as the "A" plot. It was in fact a fun read.

The two love interests are both well rounded characters who both have dubious motivations. Mostly it comes down to young men wanting to help a "hot girl" but manages to pull it off in a way that isn't creepy or nonsensical over all.

The writer expressed a weak understanding of the technology she invented for this book. Whenever you write a time travel story you HAVE to make sure the reader understands how the stuff works (or at least the effects it has on the world) These magic time travelling "medallions" were not a chunk of technology as it is expressed, they are literal magic. The writer works hard to try and shoehorn in a science but honestly, not one line of the psudo-technological world building stands up to any sort of thought.

At one point its said that you must stay near a Medallion or you will be erased from the timeline that doesn't have you in it, then its said that actually no, as long as you were protected when the "changes" happened then you will be fine. Then its contradicted again... I have no idea how this is supposed to work. Quite literally would have been better for the characters to have said "We have no idea how this works, just assume its magic"

Also the book constantly touts a villain who never once appears in this story instead promising his appearance in the next. A little infuriating but didn't detract from the "current events"

Then there's the problem of the dialogue. While its mostly snappy and well written there are times when it leave me at a loss of what they are actually on about. Characters motivations of a mess at times and logical leaps are made the kind that I have not witnessed since point and click adventures were considered good.

Its hard to think of this book as real science fiction though, its not very scientific and most the "action" takes place in the past, or in a rather nicely described family home. Its teen-romance with a sci-fi dip. I liked it but it wont sate your lust for hard sci-fi.

All these critiques a side. I really enjoyed the book and instantly started the second one. The character of Kate is adorable and I really was invested in her adventure. So much so that I instantly started the second book in the series.

I enjoy young adult fiction (Teen fiction) and find it relaxing to read while engaging for its innocence. This book is a solid read that I have no doubt lands way better to its target audience than me, who is just an interested outsider.

The manager is busy, and our policy is absolute. No respectable establishment— The man breaks off in midsentence about the time I feel a hand on my elbow. Kiernan leans in and plants a quick kiss on my cheek. So sorry to leave you stranded, dearest. You were right—my notecase was lying on the bed, right where I left it. Don’t they have a table? The maître d’ lets out a relieved sigh. My apologies, sir. Your . . . wife . . . failed to tell me you would be joining her. Please follow me. I do hope she wasn’t battering you with the whole women’s rights routine. If so, you have my sympathies. I hear it day in and day out. Two middle-aged men at the table we’re walking past seem to find Kiernan’s comment amusing. One barks out a cloud of foul-smelling smoke as he laughs.There’s this scene in an old martial arts film I watched with Charlayne once upon a time in that faraway reality where the Cyrists and CHRONOS were of no concern. Jackie Chan, or maybe it was Bruce Lee, single-handedly took out every man in the restaurant. While I’m under no illusions that I could actually do that, the feminist inside me would dearly love to try right now. ― Rysa Walker, Time's Divide

Just finished the chronos files trilogy and it was so good. One of the best trilogies I've red. The writing is amazing, all the facts are well searched and explored and also explained. Sometimes it was hard to get things but I don't blame, since the book deals with time travel it's normal if the things get hard to understand even the protagonist felt that way. Anyway, I loved the books and Kiernan Dunne you can count with me for everything.
