Daughter of Time Trilogy
The Daughter of Time Trilogy is the omnibus of the novels "Reader", "Writer", and "Maker" by biomedical scientist Erec Stebbins. The novels are space operas and metaphysical adventure fiction centered on the character Ambra Dawn, a slave with the ability to "read” and "write” spacetime. The trilogy features elements of cosmology, parallel universe (fiction), time travel, alternate history, prescience, telepathy, telekinesis, alien invasion, cybernetics, and spirituality, with the novels repeatedly breaking the fourth wall as characters speak directly to and request specific actions from the reader. Each novel is narrated in the first person by a  different character. Reviews. "Publishers Weekly" called the first novel "thoughtful science fiction” and ”a new and imaginative series.” "Kirkus Reviews" noted that "Reader" was "a richly detailed, compelling story about the power of love.” "Foreword Reviews" wrote of the series that "these are works that nurture wonder and sometimes break hearts.” "Midwest Book Review" comments that for "Reader" “mature teen and young adult readers alike will find Ambra's story involving and engrossing,” and that "Writer" is “another epic story.” Critical comments note that “it retreads some of the same paths repeatedly,” "by plot alone, "Reader" sounds fairly ordinary,” “the  narrative bogs down at times due to overly long inner monologue,” and that the ending is “incomprehensible.” Characters.
