I'd read and enjoyed the first two volumes of Imogen Rose's "Portal Chronicles" and was thrilled when she accepted my offer to be a beta reader for Quantum, the third book in the series.  This is easily the best book of the series so far.  While I think it would be possible for someone just starting to begin withEQUILIBRIUM (Portal Chronicles Book Two)if they hadn't already readPORTAL (Portal Chronicles)I would not advise starting with Quantum.  This is because with each new volume Rose is expanding our knowledge of the world she has created.  This volume, at least IMO, hits the point where knowledge of everyone's back story is needed to understand the full import of the continuing saga of Arizona and her family.For those continuing their read of the Portal Chronicles, Quantum starts out with a significant revelation in the prologue and continues with lots of plot twists you'd have never guessed, but that make perfect sense when they happen.  As you learn more about the history of the characters in the series and how they relate to each you gain a deeper understanding of them and care more and more about what is going to happen next.  When you finish, just as with the prior two books, you're left with the satisfaction of a good story well told, yet are eager for the next in the series.
