Journeys Through SpaceTime is a complex, multi-layered story. Not a bad one, just hard to get a handle on at first. As I kept reading, it became easier to read and get a handle on the flow of the story. Once that happened I really got in to all of the “worlds” that Tailisman built.
While some parts are a bit wordy, the action adventure, and characters kept me engrossed. Talisman definitely gives each world its own feel with loads of space and time factors, and tons of plots, hidden agendas and conspiracies.
Tailosman definitely left us wanting more, while tieing up a few threads. In a way this book left me feeling like I had just read a spacey J. R. R. Tolkien or “Game of Thrones”.
I will definitely be reading the second in this series.

Several amazing strong characters come together to fight good versus evil. Similar to the Divergent Series. The characters come together after hearing a voice to work together to fight for victory.
Well written and intriguing story. I was not sure how I was going to feel about this one, as sci-fi is not normally something I read, but I gave it a go and was pleasantly surprised at how it kept my attention. Initially, I felt the story was fragmented and hard to follow as it jumps around between multiple perspectives that don’t seem to have any connection. Once you get past this initial part, the story’s are all quite interesting. The various stories and perspectives that are shared range from edge of your seat, accidentally reading past your hour break at work (oops), to interesting enough to still be thinking about it later in the day. I really enjoyed getting opposing perspectives in the same storyline in some cases. I think this really made for a well-rounded and immersive experience. I would definitely read again, and plan to read the next book!
Can I just say, again, wow what a read!?!? First off I really just commend the author for adding a Character List at the beginning of the book as this was very helpful. There are many characters with different POVs and so much detail, this really made me think I wanted to be part of this story in the book. I love the action, adventure, mixed with betrayal all wrapped into this book. The author did such a fantastic job on details and having different worlds revolving around all the characters. I love the fantasy/sci fi in this and truly looking forward to diving into book 2.
Journeys Through Space Time by James Talisman is a wonderful read. I was thrilled to find myself immersed in this book that takes place in many times and across space. The story is well written, easy to read as the words just flowed across the page as I was immersed. I absolutely loved how the main characters communicated with the All-Knowing. It was refreshing to read a book about characters meditating and being still in order to receive the lessons of their chosen God/Creator/Teacher. I deeply appreciated the going into one’s heart space to find peace and inner strength. The story took me from space to Earth from today back to the past of Egyptian times. The storyline was amazing and easy to follow and I was surprised at how the story flowed involving so many well written characters. Just when I thought the storyline of the characters would not ever converge, BAM, it came together so beautifully. When I thought about the common thread in all characters, it occurred to me that we truly are connected through our experiences no matter our time or era of life. Journeys Through Space Time truly helped me to visualize and understand better the “power and wisdom we all have access to,” beautiful words written by the Author. A must read book for the ages. The storyline was fantastic, and the characters were so rich and diverse in their development but so easy to relate to. I found myself taking the journey each character experienced. I absolutely loved this book. It is on my to be read again list to experience and discover more insight into our Higher Self. Drop whatever you are reading and pick this book up. Read it and enjoy the Journey!!!
Journeys Through SpaceTime is the first novel in the Journeys Through series by James Talisman.
I am not much of a sci-fi reader especially if it deals with space. I enjoy some sci-fi movies but I usually shy away from the genre. This year I’ve been trying to read more genres that are out of my comfort zone.
This is a multilayered plot with multiple points of view. Sometimes I don’t like multiple view stories because it feels like I’m reading the same thing twice but this didn’t give me that issue. It made it more of a vast reading experience and helped me relate to the characters and different voices.
There were times the different worlds and characters made it confusing and hard to know what was going on but I felt it would have a better understanding the more I read.
I don’t want to give too much away as far as plot but I do want to say this novel kept me up because I wanted to finish it.
Now I want to read more sci-fi novels.
Journeys Through SpaceTime (Journeys Through Book 1) is the first installment to this Sci/Fi/ fantasy story. Mr. Talisman gives us a complex and detailed story with lots of characters to keep track of. This story has everything that a reader could ask for including action, hidden agendas, politics, adventure, and danger. There’s so much in this story that you find yourself flipping the pages eagerly to find out what happens next. Since this is the first installment to this series there are a lot of suspenseful moments, some of which get tied up in pretty bows and others that are left unsolved, leaving his readers to anticipate book two. But if your looking for an exciting Sci/Fi/fantasy book to read this weekend then I highly recommend Journeys Through SpaceTime (Journeys Through Book 1) by James Talisman.
The first book in the Journeys Through series, James Talisman’s debut novel is very well written! Never before have I seen a debut author so expertly weave through multiple storylines, give such in depth descriptions of many characters, or catch my attention as quickly as he did in Journeys Through SpaceTime.
Whether you are reading about a sword masters’ son or ‘ordinary’ college student from Earth, James writes a novel that makes you feel as if you are right there along with the main characters as they travel through the MultiVerse on an epic adventure. James does a great job of explaining the MultiVerse to the reader, which is what drew me to the novel in the first place. I definitely recommend it to anyone who has enjoyed the recent Marvel productions, which has also played on the idea of there being a MultiVerse.
This story was exceptional. It was extremely well-written in such a way as to capture the reader’s attention. The complexity of the characters and the world he built was astonishing. The way he interwove the worlds and characters and tied everything together kept me invested in wanting to know what was coming next. There were also so many intense ideas that just made me think and I kept wanting to save them so that I didn’t forget them. My favorite is probably the simplicity of “We are all one.” It makes me think of the world today and the way I believe we should interact with each other because we are all one species. We are all human, and part of one world. That may not have been the case in the book, but in this world, it is and that’s so important and just really resonated with me.
This was a very original fantasy read. The author gives a look into saving the multiverse by using several characters. It was a little hard to keep up at times due to large words but being a fan of DC comics, I actually like the multiverse angle. Having so many characters should satisfy many, they are so well-defined and each have a specific role. The descriptions used by the author also made it very easy to picture what was going on in your head. A must read!
I am not a big sci-fi fan, but man oh man did Mr James have me on this book. His character building and writing is just phenomenal. He sets the world and the scene and brings you into it. I felt like I was a character in the book. That doesn’t happen to me very often. Words cannot describe the emotions that I felt reading this book. I was on a rollercoaster and I didn’t want off. There is so much detail you have to pay attention. I couldn’t put this book down at all. It’s one of those that you start before bedtime thinking you’ll be able to stop and put it down, but next thing you know it’s 5 a.m. and the sun is starting to peek through the blinds. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book!
This book is out of this world!
From the storyline, detail of the worlds and characters to the action that is packed onto the pages. It was hard to put this book down.
You follow many different characters through time and space that all have one thing in common, they hear a voice. From someone that doesn’t know much about the MultiVerse this story was a tad bit different for me to read. But it made me want to learn more so I would understand better.
Even though this story is detailed and very well written, you need to pay attention to everything. Which makes you want to read it again. Plus, there is a guide of characters at the beginning of the book just in case you forget someone! That helped a ton.
Journeys Through SpaceTime by James Talisman is a book I had a hard time putting down. The author’s ability to not only create several complex universes and characters, but tie them together and have them flow naturally is spectacular! I fell in love with so many characters in this book. I loved seeing them develop as they learned how to truly harness their abilities.
Readers are drawn in immediately as we are teased with each universe’s main characters. It made me yearn to know more, thus I could not put it down! This is a very complex book, so I did read a few chapters over to make sure I did not miss any key information.
Overall, I loved reading Journeys Through SpaceTime. The only wish I have for this book is to have separate books that dive deeper into these characters’ origins! I’d love to see even more of them and what their worlds are like in different areas!
Journeys through SpaceTime (Book 1) by James Talisman is an intense page turner! This isn’t a typical genre of book for me to pick up, but I am sure glad I did! This book is so engrossing that it is hard to believe it’s a debut novel. It is quite obvious that the author planned and fleshed out his ideas and plot-line in order to make it not only good, but believable as well.
There are several different narratives weaved together, and each one is compelling and unique. I find the story itself to be so interesting, and I love how each character believes and experiences similar things, and yet they are so completely different. Like I said, this story is intense and there is a lot going on straight from the get go, but if you hang with it, it’s totally worth it. That being said, it is not hard at all to get swept up with each character because they are described so well. All in all, the entire novel is well-written, well-planned, and well-executed. I am stoked to get my hands on the next installment and give a 5 star recommendation to this book and author.
This is a very well thought out and detailed work. While I balked initially at the list of names at the start of this book, each was introduced well, and it was fairly straightforward to follow. The story itself is deeply layered and clearly a lot of planning went into creating this diverse and interesting multiverse. The imagery was rich and colourful, making it easy to imagine these worlds and beings. I loved the character of Queen Neferities, with her wisdom and insight into her world. This is a well-written Sci-Fi that lovers of the genre will enjoy.
Fans of time travel and multiple parallel plot lines will love this book!
Although confusing at first, you quickly are able to see all of our characters and keep track of everyone. It does take a moment to get going but once it starts it doesn’t stop.
All of the worlds are beautifully described and truly make you feel immersed where certain characters are.
Absolutely able to tell where the next book is going to start and can’t wait to see where it goes!
Journeys Through SpaceTime – James Talisman
4-stars
I’m going to start by saying that this is not my normal go to genre, however, I thoroughly enjoyed this read. It was nothing like I was expecting, which I loved!
It’s incredibly detailed (sometimes overwhelmingly so), complex & dynamic (with the many storylines and POV’s), well thought through and truly one a kind. Right from the beginning I was intrigued with the storylines and couldn’t wait to find out how they all came together, I was kept entertained the whole way through, sitting on the edge of my seat waiting to get all of questions answered.
This is the authors debut novel so obviously the first I’ve read but I look forward to reading more in the future! This was truly a journey and I would absolutely recommend it to others!
This novel was amazing beyond words. Instantly I was drawn into a journey like no other, it became very easy to get sucked in and truly feel you are among the characters you meet through out the book.
What I loved truly about this book is the characters and how they grow and as well as how they start out. Each character seemed to come from a different part of life. And each person was different in their own special ways. I found their were qualities in everyone that was admirable. And the words and how the author describes them from personality, to strengths, to how they rely on one another in more ways than one, etc.
I have always been a fantasy and a sci-fi lover of novels and especially novels that make me question the ways of science to what I think I know, I’m always a person up for debate and to broaden my horizons of my mind. I’m a science nerd for life. This book gave me that “fix” I love so much.
This novel was truly unlike any other that I have truly ever experienced. The worlds the characters visited and uncovered together, was not only described in a way I never believed an author had the power to, but it truly made me feel I was right beside everyone and I was living through the moments with them all experiencing the fun, the back stabbing they had felt at times, the whole we have no idea how to do this sort of thing, the questioning they all faced, the mystery of well basically everything, etc.
There is no single word how amazing this book was and is. It was so easily to get lost in and it made my weekend greatly pass by. I was so intrigued by this book from when I first started reading and all the way till I had finished it, it left me with a strong desire fore more.
All in all, this was truly a very enjoyable read. I would defiantly love to revisit the worlds I did this past weekend and get ready for yet another adventure.
My fellow readers, pick up this book, and prepare for an amazing read and journey and let your mind take flight on things you never thought possible to imagine!
Again, amazing read, I truly enjoyed it, and certainly will not be my last read through!
As someone who predominantly reads psychological thrillers, this was pretty out of my wheelhouse. I’m very glad I gave it a chance! The author described and constructed the worlds beautifully. The stories were action packed and gripping, and the characters were well thought out. Even if Sci-Fi isn’t your go to genre, I’d recommend reading this!
Journeys Through SpaceTime (Journeys Through Book 1) By: James Talisman
My rating 5 out of 5
Journeys Through SpaceTime (Journeys Through Book 1) By: James Talisman is an extraordinary read. There is no way to catch all the nuances in this book from just one read. There is so much going on through out these pages. Seriously this book has it all: action, adventure, betrayal, love, intrigue. I could go on but instead I will just say I will not only be reading the next book but I will be rereading this book to meditate on all that is revealed in this book.
