Sinossi
«Avrei potuto essere un’esperta di esplosivi, o una volontaria per una missione spaziale su Marte, o un vigile del fuoco, insomma avere un lavoro tranquillo e sicuro. E invece no: ho scelto di diventare una storica!» Non era cominciata male per Madleine Maxwell, detta Max: aveva portato a termina una missione nella Cambridge del diciassettesimo secolo, teatro di uno scambio di vedute nientemeno che con Isaac Newton, riuscendo a sfuggire a una folla scalmanata che voleva linciarla. Routine, per una storica dell'avventuroso Istituto Saint Mary, abituata a condurre ricerche letteralmente sul campo. Ma da quando è approdata sulle coste del Mar Nero durante la Guerra di Troia, niente è più stato lo stesso per Max e i suoi colleghi. Rimbalzata da lì al cretaceo dopo un passaggio per la Porta del Lamento, Max finisce nel mezzo della battaglia di Azincourt e rischia il tutto per tutto per salvare la pelle e imparare il significato esatto dell’espressione: «avere una seconda chance».

Oh my lord, this series is kicking my ass. I mean, sure, there's tons of truly hilarious events going on, just one after another, and I love it. Plus the time-travel simply plays second fiddle to the historical accuracy displayed, but here's the real kicker: the emotional impact. It's always bad enou Leggi tutto
*** 4 ***A buddy read with the MacHalos, because we love to travel in time... Liked it even better the second time around:) So addictive!!! 👍😃 This author has decided to first bamboozle us with humor, attract us with the interpersonal relationships of the characters, intrigue us with the time travel Leggi tutto
It's nearly 1 o'clock at night and I have been a sobbing mess for hours. I'm gonna find the author's address, drive up there and kill her!

This was more like two books than one in my mind. There is the first half which pretty fantastic with its wild madcap adventures and a trip to Troy which was as fantastic as it was tragic and then there is the second half of the book which is some relationship angst I didn’t get and a death and a no Leggi tutto
Outstanding!! Oh my! Ms Taylor has outdone herself.. This story wrung me out and messed with my head... I LOVED it! ALL THE STARS! All the feels! All the hilarity! All the weeping! Carefully crafted and plotted, rich in historical detail. One of my favourite series, I've just decided. Can't wait to r Leggi tutto
Buddy read at BB&B. This is a weird series for me. I like most of it and am curious enough to keep coming for more and yet I want to tear my hair out when the relationship angst hits. But that'll come later. The Iliad was one of my favourite mandatory reads back in school. I always loved the Greek Myt Leggi tutto
Torn torn and torn. Every time I read this series I am awfully torn. In one regard, I love the writing, the dialog and the scenarios I find this book taking place in. However, I am also certainly annoyed with the emotional development and character depths. As I said, torn: World: Wonderfully dense and Leggi tutto
