I was so intrigued that I bought it….and after having finished it, I think I have found myself a new favorite series. I’m a sucker for time-travel novels (I even wrote one) so my interest was peaked when I stumbled across an interview with author Rysa Walker during which she discussed her book Timebound, the first book in the Chronos Files series. ![]() ![]() ![]() Urn:oclc:733717206 Republisher_date 20120713015608 Republisher_operator Scandate 20120712034853 Scanner .

I love that he was suffering from post traumatic stress disorder (although it was never officially named that) right from the off. I love his personal struggle with idealism in the face of war and the nastiness of humanity. He may be one of my favourite characters ever written in any fantasy novel.

But the mind-blowingness began in the midst of the first chapter. Mind-Blowing: That's my instant reaction after finishing this book.
