  I can't give anything like a sensible review for these books anymore. They're like crack - I'm totally addicted, can't say no, and I inhale these books in big sweeping breaths. Argumentation does not disappoint.
  
  Max & Co. decide to lay a trap for the dastardly Clive Ronan, but he didn't get his reputation for nothing. As expected, things go spectacularly wrong. Taylor manages to pile on the heartache and the belly laughs in equal measure. Oh, and still delivers twists and shocking suprises.

  I laughed. I cried. I gasped.
  
  As always, I can rely on St Mary’s to spin a good yarn and deliver an excellent story. This time we find Max, on her own and without any chance of rescue, in desperate need of help. I don’t want to expand on the plot too much, as I think this is best enjoyed ‘blind’, but trust me - it’s as good as ever. The new characters, especially William, are thoughtfully developed to the point where I really grew quite attached to for all of them in such a short space of time. I laughed. I cried. I gasped.

The new characters, especially William, are thoughtfully developed to the point where I really grew quite attached to for all of them in such a short space of time. This is certainly where Jodi Taylor excels, in her character development and ability to creat such likeable and down to earth characters that just makes you either warm to them, or despise them, immediately.
  
  I also felt like I was living in the time periods described - smells and all. I think it takes an author who really understands the layman’s love of history to make so many different time periods come alive and ignite an interest in an area of history I’d never really examined before. In this case, it was the fall of Persepolis. I knew nothing about Alexander (apart from the ‘Great’ conquering skills) and his apparent destruction of the once grand capital. As usual, I’ve since undergone a bit more research (I looked on Wikipedia) to gain a deeper understanding of what happened. I love that this series does that.
  
  The stoic Leon, ever reliable and long suffering husband, definitely plays more of a backseat in this instalment. As does all of St. Mary’s. It’s all about Max, and to a lesser extent Ronan. How Max can cope on her own, and the very moral dilemma’s she faces when there’s no one to help. The main plot did remind me of Outlander a little (although it was less romantic and more realistic, thankfully). It was also concluded well, and rather delicately played out to a satisfying end.
  
  (view spoiler)[That twist at the end. Dottle and Ronan. Genuinely did not see that coming, although all the pieces were there. Yes, I was disappointed that yet again there’s no real resolution or comeuppance for Clive Ronan after everything he’s done, I’m still excited to see where this leaves the St Mary’s gang for the future. Surely he can’t hide from the Time Police forever? (hide spoiler)]
  
  I found I wasn’t as emotional after this book as the previous novel, And the Rest is History, but I appreciated the reprieve in heartache this time around. I think if anything, I missed the camaraderie between Max, Peterson and Markham from the main story. They’re the heart and soul of these novels, and I find the best stories come from these three being at the heart of everything.
  
  Nonetheless, I loved this, and I’m already looking forward to the next one. ...more

  This is a one click pre-order for me as are all the Chronicles of St. Mary's books! Can't wait to read it!

  Another excellent offering from Jodi Taylor and she just goes from strength to strength. The book seems to have three distinct phases and I loved them all. It's a real cliff hanger and I didn't see it coming. If you haven't discovered this author yet, what are you doing? Drop everything now and go read this series.

  Oh my goodness. What a fun and wild ride. I had to listen to the last chapter twice to make sure I heard it correctly.
  
  I believe that I will begin listening to the series all over again. I love Max and Leon and the gang so much. I am not ready to put them aside just yet.

  As usual, an amazing story. I read it in one sitting, going through a whole roller- coaster of emtions. Now I desperately need to read the next one!

  It's been a while since I've been at St. Mary's. True, I've kept up with the short stories as they are usually sweet in a way, but feel no guilt over having skipped #8. Maybe some day I'll feel strong enough to read it. Why I haven't so far? Well, I can get quite emotional about characters and the disaster magnets that are the historians, techies, R&D and security staff here are very close to my heart.

Well, I can get quite emotional about characters and the disaster magnets that are the historians, techies, R&D and security staff here are very close to my heart. The series has always been dramatic and an emotional rollercoaster but things happen in book #8 that are too much for poor little me. And people have to deal with the repercussions in this installment.
  
  We know now that Leon, Guthrie and Markham are back and even Leon is on the mend. However, the events of the previous book have left their mark (and not only because (view spoiler)[the meds Leon has to take make him unable to have sex with his wife (hide spoiler)]). There is a new doctor (although nobody knows for how long) and an annoying bureaucrat from Thirsk on top of all the work that had and still has to be put into rebuilding the building and equipment itself.
  
  So when an almost unusually almost-uneventful trip back to when Henry VIII fell off his horse during a joust leads to a rendevous between St. Mary's and the infamous Time Police, Max and Matthew decide it's time to finally apprehend Ronan.
  
  A plan is hatched involving Persepolis shortly before Alexander the Great burns it to the ground as well as an invaluable crown.
  
  Naturally, things go very wrong (I was also sad to discover that we didn't spend nearly as much time in the ancient city as I had hoped) and Max lands when she didn't expect, being stranded in history with nobody knowing when/where. My problem with that was that (view spoiler)[Max, once again, gives up. I mean, to some extend I get it, but she was in a relatively comfortable position! William would never have forced her, she would have been safe even if she had said No, but she WANTED to get hitched to another man, she WANTED ANYONE to comfort her during the night and that is what I despise about her. She is indeed selfish. Or a wanker as Brad put it. And then, when she's back in her time and Leon finally confronts her about her date with Petersen and that she nearly moved on from him while he was stranded in time back in the previous book, she actually has the nerve to be angry at him and imply that he had done the same with Bitchface Braclay (which, for those that don't remember, isn't even true because 1) his Max was indeed dead then and 2) Bitchface Barclay had TRIED to get him to agree to a date but he had instead built a shrine to his late wife)! (hide spoiler)]! So yeah, Max has become a major asshole for me. Sorry, but it's true.
  
  The romp through time, the three historical settings the author conjures up, the humorous bits (especially R&D, as usual), the adventure, action and surprising reveals - it's all still great, clever, and I will continue to read the series just for that. However, Max and I are through. I'm over her so to speak and I pity Leon. And little Matthew. Dottle WAS right in a way. ...more

  Love this series and this was no exception. Huge fun twist at the end of this one and cannot wait for the next. Max starts off with great plans to catch Ronan after bumping into Ellis of the Time Police on a nice simple jump to see Henry the 8th get knocked off his horse and possibly turned into a tyrant with a head injury. Its St Marys so of course they go not according to plan. Liked the jump to old St Mary's as well. Lots of good personal growth too among lots of folks.
