But I needed to finish my ARC in a timely manner, so I sat myself down on a sunny afternoon last week and dove in.Ī few days later, and I’d barely surfaced for air until I reached the final words of the epilogue. Life was busy, and lots of other things demanded my mental and emotional attention.

I’ll admit, I found it difficult to get into at the start. Except you’re speeding around those hairpin bends in a Ferrari powered by rocket boosters. Steep drop-offs on one side and towering cliffs on the other. Can a one-handed Radical and a scarred ex-Enforcer really bring shalom to the world? PlotĮver driven over a twisting road through the mountains? Blind curves. Meanwhile, the Council schemes to new levels of technology in its attempts to keep the people contained. Parvin and Solomon must uncover the mysterious clues that Jude left behind in order to destroy the projected Wall once and for all. But her sacrifice tore down part of the Wall long enough to stir up hope and rebellion in the people. What more can you sacrifice than your life?Īt least that’s what the Council and the world thinks. If you really really want to forge ahead that bad…who am I to stop you? 😉 No spoilers in the review, but if you haven’t read the first two books, I’d highly recommend you do that first. Like double fudge brownies and Doctor Who.

Sorrow that this part of Parvin’s tale was over.īasically, this book, this series, is necessary to life.

Excitement at discovering what would happen, how the story would end.

Reading this book came packaged a mixture of emotions. I’m not quite sure how to feel about that. With A Time to Rise, The Out of Time Series has officially reached its conclusion.
