Good concept but it got overly complex and never seemed to end. And when it did end it degenerated into campiness.

It’s been too long since I read the original trilogy, and I just couldn’t keep the characters or the stories straight. That’s particularly problematic for the time travel genre. Not sure I will read the next few when they come out.

DNF like 60%. Book wasnt bad. Just when I started it I didn’t realize it was a prequel series and felt like I was missing a lot since I haven’t read the original series. So I’m going to read those books and then come back to this one.

Fans of the CHRONOS series will throughly enjoy this peek into the origins of CHRONOS while being taken on an incredible new ride. Didn’t read the original series? You’ll want to after reading this! Looking forward to the next book in this new series. As always I need more CHRONOS!

It felt like I was missing a bigger picture the entire time I was reading the book.

So, at no point in reading this did I have any idea what was going on. I knew that sometimes with time travel books you have to wait for the end and it all comes together, so I kept reading. It did not all come together. It never made any sense. And they were still introducing new concepts at 75% through the book, which never came together.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy from the Publisher. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Now Then and Everywhen by Rysa Walker is my first book by Ms. Walker, and it won't be my last. I loved this one and how both Madi's and Tyson's voices are both uniquely different, along with how they can stop this current catastrophe.
Madi Grace is a bright young woman who must go through her great grandfather's house to do her thesis project and get it ready to go to Georgetown University to pay her tuition. Well, that is until it all unravels when she finds a time-traveling device and proof that in a few years that she is the one that founded it. All of that in mind brings the young twentyish year old's head spinning. She brings the group together, and eventually, they try to wrap their minds around this whole thing. Madi also uncovers some secrets from both sides of her family that they would rather stay buried. What I like about Madi is that she is taking everything that has happening to her in stride. She hopes that she wasn't just hallucinating any of it. Another thing that I like is that despite what she knows could happen if she tells too much, she tries to do the right thing always.
Tyson is a bright young man that is an agent for the Chronos place and has been for most of his life. He is a kind-hearted young man that takes his assignments in stride and tries to do them in a timely fashion without interfering with people that he doesn't like. Well, that is until the timeshift happens when he is in the past at a speech, and Tyson has no clue what to do about it. Tyson and his group of friends try to fix it themselves, but they hit some snags when trying to figure out how to go about it. He is smart enough to figure out a way to do it. What I like about him is that Tyson is more intelligent than what people give him credit for. Especially when it comes to duping everyone regarding his undercover looks. Tyson is a good guy despite what he has unknowingly put himself and everyone that has been trying to stop the timeshift from getting more significant.
Now Then and Everywhen by Rysa Walker was fantastically written, and I love how even though it's science fiction but that it pertains to kind of what we are trying to do today. Well, with the genetically changing a particular thing with an offspring that we don't want them to have. Diving into this Chronos universe was a new experience for me, and I loved it. I can't wait to read the next book.
I am giving this book five stars and recommending it to anyone that loves science fiction and time travel.
Thank you for dropping by! I hope you enjoyed this review of Now Then and Everywhen by Rysa Walker.
Until the next time,
Happy Reading!
