The Book of Revelations
by Shanna Lauffey
Description:
Delve into the exciting conclusion of The Chronicles of the Harekaiian!
Tormented by ghosts from the past, Kallie struggles to find a way to make herself useful to the world and especially to the displaced half breeds engendered by her people.
The specters of both friend and foe return when a new nemesis arises in the most unlikely of places where Kallie thought she could be safe at last. In her attempts to bring the few people close to her together, everything she's built begins to fall apart, but the fate of a young, displaced Time Shifter relies on Kallie's ability to see past the pitfalls placed before her.
Can she bring herself to dedicate her life to helping others? Will Marcus play a part in her future?
My Review:
The Book of Revelations ties things up, though it still feels like there could be more.
Mason, Connor, and Brand seem to play center stage in this one, as Kallie picks out the final threads of their convoluted timelines. I found some of the revelations surprising, but nothing was really shocking. I enjoyed the Mason and Brand parts the best.
While I also quite enjoyed the scenes with the young person Kallie is mentoring, I'm not sure I completely bought into the remainder of the school-related side stories. I think there was potential in them, but the drive to actually complete the overall story didn't allow enough time to thoroughly explore them in this episode, especially not at the exploratory and thoughtful pace I enjoyed in the others.
Overall, I enjoyed the tying up of the loose ends, but I feel some of the newer arcs were too rushed. I'd recommend this final episode to folks who enjoyed the others and to anyone who might have been waiting for all of them to be available.
People who enjoy the complexities of time travel and discovery would probably like this series. As always, there's an air of nostalgia in the places and times Kallie visits, but in this one, most of the stops were before my time.
I received the review copy of this book from the author.
