I still have issues with the science, multiverse and time-travel execution here as with the first books, but appreciate the way the story was woven together. Some of Lawrence's fantasy books have the different timeline feature and once again he expertly weaves them together so the overall story emerges at a good pace.
At one point, I thought the book was going to go down the Bill & Ted route as a cop-out ("in the future we will come back to this point and leave this key here and voila here it is") but this was actually quite well handled and wasn't the cop-out I feared.
The book benefits from a more stretched timeline as we see significant events from Nick's adult life, rather than dwelling on his teenage years solely. Likewise there is more of a focus on the D&D, which was somewhat lacking in book 2, and with key learnings from that featuring in the real world storyline.
Overall, I think I enjoyed this series, but I have my hang-ups about time-travel and multiverse theories in general. A good bit of escapism, if a little heavy on the pretend science at times.

It's like they didn't know what to do with anyone and the group chemistry was rocky at best. But I'm a sucker for time travel abd super hero shows so I tuned in every week especially since I knew they were going to have tie in episodes with Arrow and The Flash and at the time I watched both shows regularly.
My main problem with the show is you can tell that they wanted to get to certain events but didn't really know how to get there so they had the group kind of stumbled around a space ship.
