Rating: ★★★★★
Synopsis: You’d think that being Chief Seer for the supernatural world would come with a few perks. But as Cassie Palmer has learned, being Pythia doesn’t mean you don’t have to do things the hard way. That’s why she finds herself on a rescue mission skipping through time—even though she doesn't entirely understand her dimension-bending new power.
Rescuing her friend John Pritkin should have been an in and out kind of deal, but with the near-immortal mage’s soul lost in time, Cassie has to hunt for it through the ages—with Pritkin’s demon dad in tow. He’s the only one who can reverse Pritkin’s curse, but with the guardians of the time-line dead set on stopping anyone from mucking about, Cassie will have to figure out how to get her friend back without ruffling too many feathers—or causing a world-ending paradox or two...
REVIEW
Another whirlwind, whistle stop tour through time with my best girl Cassie, on yet another Pritkin rescue mission!So, if you've seen my last review you'll know I completely adore this series. I adore it to a point where although I can understand other people's frustration with the lack of progress in a certain area, and that the thing we're all desperately hoping will happen is still just. Out. Of. Reach.... I'm just here with my arms splayed wide saying, "Tease me, Karen chance, tease me you wicked temptress!" It's almost like I don't actually want to move forward because then there will be no more books!
Even without "that thing" I just simply enjoyed being in this world again. I love the characters, the time travel, the vampire politics, the humour, the complicated romantic storyline...All of it. I've also enjoyed seeing Cassie's development over the series. She's not your typical UF heroine who's seemingly born a badass. She's absolutely had to learn every meagre skill she has the hard and long way, often with Pritkin's help. Do you remember when he helpfully pushed her off a cliff so she could learn to Shift under pressure? He's a sweetiepie, that man.
I always enjoy the pace of Chance's books. They're thrilling, high octane adventures sprinkled with humorous respites and the occasional emotional and/or romantic scene. For me, they're perfection and I can't wait for the next book, and the one after that, and the one after that........
5 Stars ★★★★ A copy of this book was provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
