Review: WONDERFUL NEW TIME TRAVEL SERIES
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 11 6, 2011
While reading Tempus, I was sucked into a magical, fictional world that I don't completely understand yet, but I love it all the same. Tempus is the first book in a new time travel series by Tyra Lynn, and it's wonderfully written because you are introduced to this new world where a lot of your questions are answered, yet it leaves so many unanswered questions for the second book in the series, Arcanus.The only reason I put this book down last night was because my eyes were completely dried out and could not stay open for a second longer. I started reading again the second I woke up this morning, and I didn't stop until I read the last page. Needless to say, it's addicting!The beginning of this novel is really good because you are introduced to a lot of the characters and Jessie's unique gift - she sometimes gets "glimpses" into the past when she touches an object. The middle of this novel was extremely fast-paced, a little confusing, and very entertaining. There is so much going on, and this is also when you start finding out about a whole nother world - the world of time travel. Jessie the main character has a hard time grasping everything and because you, the reader, are on her level of thinking it is hard to comprehend everything. I will admit that I still have many, many questions. However, this is a series so I have no doubt that my questions will be answered over time. The end of this novel was extremely confusing but perfect at the same time. When I started Chapter XXX, I screamed so loud my boyfriend thought I was dying. I wouldn't be surprised if the neighbors heard me screaming. I was so baffled that I completely lost it. The world, however, did not end. I continued reading, and by the end of the novel I had a huge grin on my face again.I can't really explain what happens in this novel. 1) It would ruin the discovery for you. 2) I don't understand it 100% yet, and I can't put into words what I do understand. However, I can say that I strongly recommend this novel to people who enjoy paranormal, romance or time travel novels.I gave Tempus by Tyra Lynn 4 STARS (4.5 STARS). This series is a must read! It's romantic and original. I am not sure how accurate this analogy will be, but it was sort of like a cross between a time travel novel and The Notebook -not the riding in a canoe with geese floating behind you part, but the soul mates, eternal love, "memory" part. I am not sure if other people will agree. That may just be the worst analogy in history."It was almost. Maybe `almost' was the best we ever got in real life. Stupid romance novels." - Jessie describing the chemistry of a kiss with someone"The instant his lips met mine - it was fireworks." - Jessie describing the chemistry of a kiss with another someone"I love you, Jessie. Maybe I loved you before time even began." - I'll never tell ;)-XOXOREADING, EATING AND DREAMING
