Jennifer's Reviews > A Second Chance

I enjoyed books 1 and 2, but I'm having a harder and harder timer ignoring the inherent weaknesses of the premise of this series. Honestly, I'm not sure how all the historians aren't dead by now and why there continue to be new candidates to fill their shoes. The whole idea that "historians are wild and crazy" only takes the story so far.

That aside, the habit that Jodi Taylor has of hinting at the eminent catastrophe that's coming in subsequent chapters has me actively fighting the urge to rifle through the book to find out when we're not mired in a huge flashback. I will try to finish this one, but I'm not going to make the same mistake I made with the Kate Daniels series. If I'm not loving it by book 3, there's no way I'm reading all the way to the end of it all.

DNF at p. 126. I️ just can’t do it any more. The time travel, the h’s disappointment that things didn’t actually happen the way history claims, the visiting awful historical events, etc. Plus I️ skimmed and found out that the MCs suffer yet another relationship setback. I️ know this isn’t romance, but come on. This series has had some fun bits, but mostly I’m learning from previous pigheadedness and stopping this before it goes further.
