New review for INEVITABLE, Book 2: Arrow of Time Chronicles

I received a new review for INEVITABLE, Book 2: Arrow of Time Chronicles
 
​4 Stars! "This second novel in the Arrow of Time Chronicles picks up threads from the first volume while adding new ones. It raises the stakes in the characters' relationships and emotional lives as well as the rocky road toward forming an interplanetary alliance against the aggressive would-be conquerors of the known galaxy. Raze and Tori have declared their love and formed a common-law 'marriage' of the sort that substitutes for legal ties in their culture, but their union doesn't automatically go smoothly in all respects. Meanwhile, we follow other couples who are forming bonds. On the large-scale level, culture clash among species is convincingly presented, and the mysterious phenomena of 'phantom energy' and the inexplicable genetic similarity among inhabitants of distant worlds are explored. Again, the story maintains a skillful balance between the large-scale conflict and the characters' personal crises. To help the reader keep track of people and events, the name of the current viewpoint character appears at the head of each chapter. Like the first book, this one has an extensive appendix with a glossary of terms and lots of background information on the various planetary species and cultures, a feature I like very much. The novel ends with some problems resolved but plenty of loose ends left to draw readers into the next installment." ~Award-winning author Margaret L. Carter
