Miriam's adventures conclude in SPLIT INFINITIES, the final book of the IMPROBABLE Trilogy, a new historical fantasy thriller from the author of The CHRONOS Files.
As the Vanderbilt Ball approaches, a series of unexplained earthquakes have New York City on edge. Miriam's attempts to understand their cause lands her in the place she least wants to be.
Confronting her deepest fears may be the only way to find the missing Pembroke Girls and save her sister. But the question that haunts Miriam most is whether Gwen can still be saved.
Previously available only in serial format on Kindle and Kindle Vella, this is the final full-length book in the now-completed trilogy.
RYSA WALKER is the author of the bestselling CHRONOS Files series. Timebound, the first book in the series, was the Young Adult and Grand Prize winner in the 2013 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Awards. The CHRONOS Files has sold nearly half a million copies since 2013 and has been translated into fourteen languages.
In addition to speculative fiction, she occasionally writes mysteries as C. Rysa Walker.
Rysa currently resides in North Carolina with her husband, two youngest sons, and a hyperactive golden retriever. When not working on the next installment in her CHRONOS Files universe, she watches shows where travelers boldly go to galaxies far away, or reads about magical creatures and superheroes from alternate timelines. She has neither the time nor the patience for reality TV.

I finished this book, but thought about just not bothering. However, the plot is interesting enough that I wanted to know what happens to Miriam, Gwen and Elias. I am puzzled as to why the author felt the need to include the myriad "parallel universes". It adds nothing to the plot and just adds to a confusing storyline. I did enjoy the use of historical characters and events - this is one of the reasons I selected the series for reading. However, even after reading all three books, I find that I know very little about the characters. Violet seems to have been added simply to move the plot along and as a foil for Miriam. I remain confused as to why Gwen and Sam Clemens' daughter Susy behaved as they did. Surely intelligent young women could be cleverer and/or less violent? If you like this author's other books, you will probably enjoy this series as well. If you are more inclined to cozy fantasies or true historical function, probably not so much.
Split Infinities wraps up the Improbable trilogy and ties up all of the loose ends neatly. As Miriam grapples with changing timelines, she also comes to terms with her feelings for Elias and her concerns about Gwen’s sanity. Rysa Walker deftly weaves together historical events and famous faces into her fantastical story, creating a plausible alternate universe. The twists and turns will have the reader on the edge of their seats as Miriam races against time to rescue the Pembroke Girls.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
I realized I was listening to this just to get through the series and not because particularly even knew what was going on anymore. But that's probably largely my own fault - I was so intrigued in earlier books by the historical context that I was listening almost entirely for that, and didn't attend to the intricacies of the plot (and it did get increasingly intricate as the story went on, and as timelines shifted.) So I cut my losses.
