I was very confused about all the complicated information. Plus I'm still freaking out about the cliffy. But I applaud this author for writing a series that is complex and a little bit different from the standard consistent narrator series.

I read both books some time ago, but Hourglass left more of an impression. I agree, the more the time travel/shifting the more confusing and I get that glazed over look on my face. Let's hope the 3rd in the series is really good.

I really loved the first book, and was able to overlook all the time traveling scientific wangling because I loved the characters so much.

I think time travel is such a tough subject because there are rules and there aren't. Authors can make up their own, but the logic is hard to follow sometimes. (I get lost in parallel/multiverses)<br /><br />I haven't read Timepiece so maybe I'll read Timepiece and Infinityglass back to back. I think it's a brilliant series, just maybe too smart? I can't wait to see your review!!!

(And now Sheldon goes: "Is that sarcasm?")<br /><br />Seriously now, I'm a bit of an idiot when it comes to time travel (all those paradoxes, timelines and whatnot are totally beyond me), so I would probably appriach this with caution, but when done right, time travel can be SO SO cool and interesting!

On the other hand, I think I would really love Emerson! And my love for these covers probably exceeds it all and may be enough to convince me that I should read them right there - sorry if that sounds superficial! haha.
