Yoshi is on a mission to travel back in time to World War II and change the outcome and history forever.
Along the way Jack battle’s the pain of witnessing the death of his son and the temptation of following the same path as Yoshi.
Time Savior is a pretty decent take on a time travel story. While it spans a large amount of time and has quite a few jumps, it is nice that there are not that many characters that you have to remember; so when you meet one in the past or future you are not scrambling through your brain to remember who these people are. As the title suggests, the protagonist is attempting to save a catastrophic change to the time line, even though he has no clue what is going on.
The way the characters interact throughout time worked really well and seemed really well thought out. Everyone had a purpose for being where they were even if they weren't supposed to be there. The time travel device itself was a little less well done as sometimes you need an event with high levels of radiation involved but then other times it didn't matter; it was not as well thought out as the rest of the book. There were some slower parts that probably could have been skipped as they didn't help push the story along or give any extra information, but all around it was a page turner because you never knew what was going to happen next or who you would meet and when.
While there are better time travel books out there, this one would still be on my recommend list as there is enough good about it that you should give it a read at the right price. The style the book was written in was easy to follow and kept this readers attention, so I will be keeping an eye on this author to see what else he can come up with. There is nothing too deep or life altering in this book, just a fun little time travel tale.
