Book Review for Through Each Tomorrow–A Time-Crossing Twist between America and England
Can these time-crossers manipulate their paths in Through Each Tomorrow
Friends in their Elizabethan era paths, Charles and Andrew also share a timeline in Gilded Age America, and they concoct a plan to provide for their families in one timeline and save a queen in the other. Will their choices succeed, or with they lead to a terrible downfall for all involved?
The points of view throughout Through Each Tomorrow remain with Charles (in 1883) and Cecily (in 1563), his step-sister in Elizabethan England. However, their childhood friend Andrew features prominently and is an integral part of the story. I almost wished for his perspective, even though I usually prefer minimal point of view shifts. We do get a good idea of what he’s thinking and feeling though, because the author masterfully incorporates actions and dialogue that let us know, even if the other characters don’t gain the insight yet.
This might the most compounding tale of the Timeless series (affiliate link) so far because it ties in threads from all of the previous books. References to previous time-crossers’ lives—mistakes and triumphs—intermingle with the woven tales for each time-crosser featured here.
What genre is Through Each Tomorrow?
An entertaining mix of history, time-travel, dual timelines, and romance, Through Each Tomorrow pulls out all the stops, just like the other novels in the Timeless series (affiliate link). I’m not sure how Gabrielle Meyer keeps each one of these stories different with such a similar premise and even some overlapping timelines.
This is a continuous series, so if you haven’t read the previous stories in the series, you will catch the Easter eggs by starting with When the Day Comes (affiliate link) and continuing through the previous five novels. However, if you haven’t read the previous books, you can still jump into this one without losing any of the story. Then, when you read the other stories, you’ll catch the Easter eggs from this story and know things before the rest of us did by reading the stories in order. (I even wonder if Gabrielle Meyer had some of these tidbits laid out before she wrote the first book or if they just wove their way into this book.)
