I Loved the first three books in the trilogy and very much enjoyed the revisiting the characters however, the editing was off on this book. And unfortunately, it repeatedly took me out of the magic of this story.

It’s weird that the POV changes so often, and that most POVs are third person but one is first person. I liked learning about Marcus’s past, but some of the modern stuff was a slog.

A good comfort read. If you have not read the All Souls trilogy, do not start here. Times Convert is a welcome look into the life of Marcus, Matthew’s son and the journey to becoming a vampire, in this universe’s version anyway.

I know it’s meant to have been a spin-off, but Diana and Matthew really do not relinquish the spotlight all that easily. Time’s Convert brought to further attention the biggest flaw in the series: Diana’s stubbornness about magic. By book four, one would expect Diana to have grown into this aspect of her character after battling with it and then learning to harness and control it, but it’s as if she regresses in this book, and, honestly, after hundreds of pages of her hesitancy I was pretty over it. 

In the end, Marcus and Phoebe do get their chance at center stage and I loved learning about Marcus’ past and joining Phoebe on her baby-vampire journey!

 Rating:4.75/5 ⭐
"Evermore, sang their two hearts. Evermore."
― Deborah Harkness, Time's Convert

What should be an peaceful interlude for the Bishop-Clairmont clan is spent unraveling the past, present and future. And it was revolutionary.

**Bonus quote**
“Miracles should leave a mark, so that we can remember how precious they are.”

Enjoyable addition to the All Souls books to flesh out the characters and their stories a bit more. I enjoyed the chapters alternating between past & present but sometimes the transitions from a contemporary chapter to a memory chapter felt a bit forced. Great to have more time with Matthew & Diana along with getting to know Marcus & Phobe better. Definitely not the best book out of the bunch but enjoyable for fans of All Souls trilogy craving new content.
