Dark and dreary.
I don't think that this series was proofread at all! The missing words, misspellings and incorrect word usage were too numerous for anyone to have checked it.
This purports to be a time travel series but the only people doing any travelling seemed to be the bad guys and the times that Emmy travelled. Nicholas will obviously have his own story to tell. So, apart from that the story is more a history of Virginia colony in the 1600's. As such it is very good if somewhat dark and depressing.
Having said that, I can't say that I enjoyed these books. I didn't sympathise at all with Daniel, the main male protagonist and I just tended to get frustrated with Emmy, the female protagonist. It never made sense as to why Emmy's mother would have said that she, Emmy, had to go back to the 1600's 'to set things right'. Set what things right? The purported reason seemed very weak especially when it comes out that then wasn't really her time if her parents had stayed in their original time. Emmy knew this from the age of eight but seemed woefully deficient in her knowledge of the period. And where did Connor come into these predictions? So her name appeared in The Book! It turns out that The Book changed as things happened anyway.
Nothing seems to have been set in stone, even the Bloodstones!
Not for me.
