Miriam Stern's Reviews > Time's Divide

I feel this book was a bit of a disappointment. Don't get me wrong. I wouldn't pin it as 'bad' but I think there was a lot of lost potential. The timelines were off the chart complicated. I mean, I love time travel... I watch Doctor Who and I've read other time-traveling novels that are guaranteed to raise a few eyebrows with their explanations, but this book is just too damn complicated. Even the characters confuse themselves when they're trying to sum things up. Not even a 'Timey-Wimey-Wibbly-Wobbely' can sort out the mess in the book's (or the series' plot). Not even Fringe (the series... Which is awesome) with its red, blue and yellow timelines are this complicated. That's just part of the problem. The other issue is that I didn't get a feeling that things were SOLVED in the end. There are so many loose ends that I would love to write a fanfic that addresses those problems. In the end, it's entertaining and it gets the reader hooked because you just want to know how it all ends, but I won't deny that it's barely gratifying.
