This story just continues to get more and more complicated with The Stack and The Layers. So someone is a good guy here, but he's a bad guy in every other layer? Or vice versa? It's a lot to keep up with - especially when a character dies. At least we know that character is probably alive in another layer.
The big battle at the end was good. It does seem like Yasmin is the one who seems to have all the answers to everything and yet she's my least favorite character. Most of this I could see coming from a mile away. It didn't really detract from enjoying the book - but I say it because this book definitely has its flaws.
Regardless, I love the series and the world at large. Dave Jackson is great on the audio.

A pleasure to read
Very fast pace. No extraneous filler. Somewhat novel concept. Surprised at connections to other books by this author. This review is for all three books so far. Reading this series cleansed my palette after the prior author that I cannot finish. Such a delight to read a professional author!

Shucks, didn't end as I had hoped
But the story line kept the suspense tight! And there is still book 4. Which has a chance to change the fate of the Knights. I pray that their fate will beat net positive. Maybe the lost souls of our group will be replaced with their doplegangers/doubles! Time to find out,.......!

Great read...
A great read as always! I have read all the books in this universe. I know all of the people that have come in and out of the different worlds and love all the characters!

Another great book
Really loved the continuation of the story. Fun thoughts on the stack and possible outcomes. Nice development of Koth and Axon plot lines. I still think the ancients should be in their true form more often. Already starting the next.

Awesome
Story is woven like only Forbes can. Doesn't disappoint! And it's nice to see familiar characters that we've always loved, back in action again, as well as new favorites developed!

Really good read, highly recommended!
An addictive series. Original, very well written and a real page turner. It’s quite a while since I’ve read anything this good, not saying what I’ve been reading is bad, just that this is very, very good.
Grab the series, you won’t regret it.

It's another thrill ride for the Knights of the Round Table!
Where did the Sheriff come from and what's with all the dramatics? Illusions, force fields, space jumps and whatnot, yeelsh!

Well written and lots of science
Fast moving with lots of twists. I am looking forward to the next book. Well defined characters. Need more information about the universe.

wow
This one was rough and though there is no cliff hanger, you wonder how they will get out of this mess. It was brutal, but still left room for hope. Can’t wait for the final round.

How does it end
Wow, more background info for the forgotten universe. Can’t wait to see who else shows up and how this adds to the whole story.

Book #3 is great
Another awesome novel to add to the series. Forbes always keeps you guessing as to what's going to happen. Can't wait to finish the series

Dazzling!
Complications, confusions, twists and turns. As one layer becomes clearer, another is revealed. The whole thing is much like a good tirimisu…….

Good Sequel
This was a very good story. Exciting and interesting. I love the characters. Hope the third book is as good.

Awesome
Anything is possible. A multiverse of chances to die. Run the gauntlet and hope to survive once, twice or forever.

Great read. Fast paced. Hated the losses they suffered.

Still going strong
It's starting to get a little "all over the place", but that's probably the side effect of multiversing. Looking forward to a strong close.

Very disappointing

Not as engaged with these characters as with previous stories in the "Forgotten" Universe. Cannot gel with the versions of Sheriff Duke or Caleb Card in this series. The multiverse aspect is not a great concept in this Universe. Please excuse the pun!
