I really enjoyed this series. The story and writing were really good, and I liked all the characters. 

The one minor complaint I have is the usage of time travel is a bit unexplained (and would be difficult to explain). A lot of the events in the book are influenced by someone traveling back in time, creating a kind of time loop. What happened the "first time" the events would have transpired? For example, Davian traveled back in time to before his parents met. He basically introduced them. He couldn't have existed without doing that, so it's kind of an infinite loop. That being said, the concepts were entertaining/fun, so it doesn't really hurt the book much for me.
