She tells the story that would otherwise bog the book down in dialog. I also like how each chapter ends with a narration from Kalli, even the ones that feature Marcus's point of view. There are some limitations, but the two manage to get around them with careful planning. May as well have fun when you're hiding out in the past. This is a common strategy Kalli and Marcus take, that and shifting back to experience favorite days again. Heck, you can shift back in time, then shift over to the opposite coast and rest in the present. As long as you can manage a time shift, you can take all the time you need to recover. If there are loose ends, I'm of the opinion that they are there on purpose.Īs for the pacing, this is a quick read, but the story takes off in spurts and then slows to dribbles. Time travel is a tricky business, but I think this is one of those rare stories that pulls it off. So much thought was put into this, and it works. When she's planning her time travel escapades, such as getting a new social security card for Marcus, my head spins. The story is well-written and I enjoyed the characters, particularly Kalli. Being cautious, they avoid shifting distances in the present day, because the enemy is somehow able to detect that. Instead, she's hiding in plain sight with Marcus, a half-breed time shifter who needs her help learning how to do what time shifters do. The heroine, Kalli, is no longer on her own. Continuum is number three in the Chronicles of the Harekaiian.
