A review by parklandmom
Across the Ages by Gabrielle Meyer
4.25
Read: December 2024
Series: Timeless, #4
Format: paperback
Challenge Prompt: CNL's #36 of 50 - "includes pirates"
Book #154 of 2024: [I had originally started this on audiobook while waiting for my paperback to come. I didn't enjoy the narrator. She doesn't sound like a 20 year-old and I've just never been a fan of Rachel Botchan's narrations.]
I was admittedly a little nervous about this one! If I didn't know how great the previous books were, I never would have picked this up. I've never read a book set during pirate times, unless Peter Pan counts! However, I had a reading challenge prompt to fulfill and I knew Gabrielle Meyer would not disappoint!
I did struggle a bit getting into the pirate time period. However, as the novel progressed, it got better and better. I really like Caroline's bravery and gumption. Lewis and Marcus/Maxwell are both strong males. Both time periods have many points of interest.
I admittedly still favour the first two novels in this series but all of them are fantastic. Meyer has a way of taking something fantastical (time-slip/time-crosser) and makes it into something special while giving glory to God for integrity, reliance on God's leading, and choices.
