I wanted to take my time in writing this review because I have had the great opportunity to read the entire series back to back. How often to we the readers actually become part of a family on print? not very often...The Hands of Time Series is one of those rare events where at least for me at I was part of this incredible family. As I read the series I loved how Ms Shapiro grew in her writing. There are a lot of characters especially in the final book, A Game of Shadows...Ms. Shapiro skillfully moves back and forth and you just go with the flow. I think that my favorite character was Alex simply because he could belong in each time period. I love the women characters, you feel their sadness and helplessness in the past and see their sorrow in the present. Ms. Shapiro skillfully handles her "lost" women in such a manner that you feel their pain, you feel their joy and you understand their decisions.. It must be so hard for Ms. Shapiro to close this incredible story.....as it was for me to hear "this is the end of the series". What an amazing journey the Hands of Time has been....I thank you...maybe just maybe you can change your mind...sometime in the future....maybe you know where the time machine is......thank you for an extraordinary story
