Death in Time by Robyn Nyx
5.0
I liked the perspective this book started from, something which i didn't expect and which set the tone for the whole book really, because if you like the beginning you'll love the end!
Even though this is the final book of the trilogy, i really enjoyed that the reader was still introduced to new characters - namely Brooke - and that we are able to explore her thoughts and feelings as an outsider becoming part of the Pulsus' world. It provided a differing but complimentary viewpoint of a new comer compared to Landry and Delaney's view as experienced extractor/operative. I'm secretly hoping that Nyx has left the door open for a potential spin off/future storyline featuring Pulsus with Brooke and Makenzie.
Having read all three books, i love the way Nyx writes - there's alot going off but it flows well and not once do you feel lost in the different and numerous relationships or timelines. As a reader this is as an achievement because there's nothing worse than reading a book where you have to flick back a few chapters to re orientate yourself to whichever character you've now moved onto, this doesn't happen with Nyx's writing.
Additionally, this is one of the first books/series' i've read in a long time where i haven't had any inkling of the ending. Maybe on a second read through of all three i might think differently - but i never saw the ending coming - neither could i tell you what i was expecting to happen, because i've been intrigued all the way through as to which way Nyx was going to take the story.
The fact that Simson ends up dead...well lets face it she deserved it and better her than any of the other characters ;)
Ultimately, the whole series is fun, thrilling, futuristic and intriguing but i think what i like the most is the subtle journey over all three books. The series aside from the time travel is such an exploration of love, relationships, friendships, trust and a whole host of other things - it's been a pleasure to share Landry and Delaney's rollercoaster journey and to see them battle with emotions, morals and life in the face of trying to make the world a better place.
Afterall isn't that what we're all trying in our own ways to do everyday?
But my parting recommendation if you're thinking of reading this book - is buy them all. It's a journey you won't forget, an ending you probably won't see coming and an underlying message that is to die in time for!
