Mario Party: Animal Crossing Style

Extremely reminicent of Mario Party, you travel around a game board over the course of a month and try to get the most points. Each month has special events but other than that it's exactly the same. It's fun to play one or two rounds but anymore at a time becomes tedious.

It's a cute game that is fun in small spurts, but has low replay value.

I found this to be a sweet story. Not the best time-travel romance I've read, but it is far from the worst. Rome and Adrian were pleasant characters, although Adrian's constant questioning and thought process could get annoying at times. The end was a bit rushed and I wish it could have been a little different, but it was decent. Still, I thought it was a lovely story with likeable, and one not so likeable, characters.

* Contains Spoilers for Season One of the Flash.*
It has bugged me to no end that Reverse Flash asked Cisco for help... What was Cisco supposed to do? He has no to little knowledge of his powers or how they potentially work. My theory is that his call for help was for a future Cisco. One that knew how his powers could effect the timeline and that he still saw Reverse Flash as a quisi father figure.
Time travel makes my head hurt.

A consistent end to the trilogy

The D&D time-travel series comes to and end with this third book. Here the action is split between a timeline in the 90s following the first two books, with a future narrative of Nick's adult life in the 2000s and 2010s, and finishing up with a retelling of the events of the first book, from "future Nick's" PoV.
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.
