Question

Jodi · Answer

Loved loved loved. I read the trilogy and then Time’s Convert.

Lauren · Answer

Loved it!

Debbie · Answer

Loved this and definitely not my typical genre either. I have read the trilogy more than once.

Meghan · Answer

I really liked the 1st and 3rd books. The second one not so much. The stand alone book (Times Convert) is also good

Carolyn · Answer

The books are a bit slow-moving but manage to reel you in!

Eden · Answer

I devoured the trilogy. So good. Then did the same with Time's Convert when it came out. Oh, then I binged the 1st season of the show, lol.

Amy · Answer

I have! It's good.

Terrie · Answer

Totally not my genre either but so far I loved the first and am really looking forward to the next two

Stacey · Answer

They are VERY good!!

Juliet · Answer

I enjoyed the first book, but I wasn’t staying up late because I couldn’t put it down. Haven’t yet moved on to the others.

Cindy · Answer

Not usually my genre either, but I loved it. There’s a movie series out too.

Merrill · Answer

I loved it!

Abby · Answer

DoW started slow for me. I got halfway through before it hooked me, and then I raced through the series.
Taking a break before reading Time’s Convert.

Kelly · Answer

I was really excited for it and barely made it through the first book. It was a slog, felt like grown-up Twilight (and not in a good way), didn't really hold my attention until about 70% of the way in, and by the time I finished the first book I decided it was just okay. I decided not to continue the series because the first book simply didn't hook me enough.

Stephanie · Answer

Loved it!!!

Audra · Answer

It’s very good

Erina · Answer

I loved it but none of the books are going to be quick reads and they are all packed full of information. It can be a lot to take in. I don't like Diana (the heroine) but love most all the other characters

Tracy · Answer

Loved it. It was like Twilight for adults. Also, it was written well with real historical significance.

Kara · Answer

Loved the first book and then lost all interest after the first three chapters of the second.

Jennifer · Answer

I loved them

Johanna · Answer

I'm on book 2 "Shadow of Night" now. I'm enjoying the books but her books are slow read for me for some reason. Maybe it's because the author is very descriptive which some have commented they did not like but I do, it makes the experience more immersive to me.
