Another story has come to an end...
I'm pretty satisfied how it all wrapped up, but there are some things I'm still not sure about and it makes me want a third book. Although everything is quite logical. With all the time travelling concept... the author must be very careful, there were so many facts and events and theories, I've started ignoring almost all of them, because it was too complicated to keep in mind everything. That's why a few of my predictions were wrong.
the beginning was fast-paced, with many action scenes, because it follows the first book right where it's ended. the middle part is slow and sometimes I've just got angry and wanted things to happen faster, I was annoyed, to be honest.
Sadly, the only "alive" characters for me were Etta, Nicolas and Sophia. Some new characters are also interesting, but I didn't emphasize them and didn't feel them as though they could be real. I liked that the plot is concentrated more on Nicolas here, his decisions, fears, doubts... I wouldn't say he developed much, but we learn about his strong character and how loyal he is to his close ones and loved one.
I'm happy for Etta, because her life has finally became "how it should have been from the beginnig" and I'm glad that every piece of this puzzle has found its place.
The second book was deeper, darker and the whole concept is described more detailed, so I forgive the author for the little not-so-logical and confusing moments. The atmosphere is amazing, with all those placec and different centuries (special thanks for an episode in Russia). It was a great adventure after all!
