A Second Chance (The Chronicles of St. Mary's), by Jodi Taylor

About the Author Jodi Taylor, International Woman of Mystery, spent some time working undercover for North Yorkshire County Library Service. Heavily disguised as the world's most incompetent Facilities Manager she shifted dead dogs, fell out of mobile libraries, and spent far too much time in the gents' toilets. The idea to re-write history first came to her while studying history A’level at an evening class. Just One Damned Thing is her first novel and was originally self-published as an ebook where it was downloaded by more than 60,000 readers on Amazon.

11 of 11 people found the following review helpful. Mind. Blown. By FuldaRussell When I wrote a review for the first book, Just One Damned Thing After Another, I observed that just when you think things can't possibly get more gut wrenching, they do. When I wrote my review for the second book, A Symphony of Echoes, I remarked how it was interspersed with several I-did-not-see-THAT-coming moments. In this one, all of the above, including more than one moment, Ms. Taylor, that I really, really hated you. Oh. My. Word. What a freaking brilliant book. Just how are you going to top this one, hmmmm?

14 of 18 people found the following review helpful. Good descriptions but the plot and character development are a mess... By janthree I just finished reading all three volumes of the The Chronicles of St. Mary's series and have very mixed emotions about the books. Normally, when reviewing a book, I like to write a short intro to the plot, but for this series, it is difficult to provide enough detail to benefit potential readers without spoiling the narrative. So I will forgo any plot points and focus on issues I had with the story. Time travel stories tend to span the spectrum from hard science to fantasy. Unfortunately, almost all have to ignore a range of paradoxes to maintain the logical structure of the narrative. Generally, hard science time travel has the fewest paradox issues. The concept of infinite timelines is probably the most logical of the time travel plots. You change something in the past and you create or shift to another timeline. The more fantasy oriented stories tend to ignore all the time travel paradoxes and usually revert to magic as the explanation.Jodi Taylor is a good descriptive writer. Her words fill out detailed imagery of the places our protagonist, Max, visits. I especially enjoyed her description of several historic events that were witnessed by the time travel team. However, in my opinion, the story falls short in other areas. First off, the tone of the story is all over the place. One page it is a comedy, the next it is a romance, the next it is violent horror, the next it is a macho military mission, etc. I understand that sometimes authors juxtapose narrative tones to strengthen the story, but there is no sense of purpose to this jumble of "genre" changes. It is almost as if the author sat down one day and wanted to write some comedy, then the next day she decided to write a romance, the next day she wanted to write a monster story, etc. Accordingly, in all this confusion, her character development suffers. I never really knew how the characters would react to a situation. Which is fine when I initially met them in the first few pages of volume 1, but by the time I had finished volume 3, not knowing and understanding the characters became a problem. At the end, I really didn't much care what happened to Max.A second area I found problematic is in the time travel logic of the story. The author steamrolls over one paradox after another without offering any explanation. I am very willing to "suspend my disbelief" if an author lays down some consistent ground rules for the world that he or she has created and sticks to them. Unfortunately, the logical gaps in this series were so pronounced that my mind kept being pulled out of the narrative flow. For instance, how can you drop a rock hut into a city alley without anyone noticing? If a hut suddenly appeared on a street out of nowhere, you can be certain the neighbors would immediately notice and raise an alarm. Why not use a cloaking device? Another example...why are the scientists getting permanently killed in the timeline? You would think that any time someone is injured or killed, St. Mary's would spend a couple of months organizing a rescue party, go back in time to ten minutes before they died and rescue them. Based on the St. Mary's world logic, there should be no deaths from time travel. These are just a couple of examples of many logic/plot holes in the story.Overall, the author is in her element when writing about historic events...the descriptive writing is very good. On the other hand, the time travel plot is filled with logic holes that are just too annoying to really enjoy the narrative flow.

6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. The third book in the series takes a left turn... By Robert P. von Fischbach Oh well, just as I had gotten very intrigued with the characters and continuing, ever twisting/interesting story lines, the author takes us into blind alleys, and, Pleeeeease, not that old plot!Dissapointed...The visit to Troy gets dumb and dumber, the trip to Agincourt becomes a bit sketchy after the opening maneuvers, the twang of the Brit archers is there, but the French 'elan becomes truly mud-bound! As well the death/no, they're still alive in another plane of existence.., leads us to a rather muddled ending...with a sharp hang-nail, screatch of chalk on the blackboard, [Thanks Sister Cornelius], As I closed the book, I really felt a bit let down.
