Through Each Tomorrow by Gabrielle Meyer Review

 

I am absolutely in love with this series by Gabrielle Meyer. Each new book becomes my favorite. I just finished a reread of the first five books, seeing as I had forgotten quite a lot of details. Having all the stories and characters fresh in my mind really did help me enjoy Through Each Tomorrow all the more. The author has done a phenomenal job of weaving this entire series together. I have mentioned before how much I love that each book brings in new twists. I wasn't quite sure how she was going to have step siblings be the main characters in this book, but I loved it. And then she included another time crossing character who is in both timelines with Charles. That was just awesome. 

Charles Hollingsworth was originally introduced in book one as an older gentleman, so the reader already knows which path he is going to choose. Usually one of the things keeping me riveted to the story is needing to know WHICH time period the character is going to ultimately choose to remain in. But even though we KNOW in this book, there is still so much at stake and so much we don't know. And yes, it was more than enough to keep me riveted to this new story.

In Charles's 1583 timeline, the story is told from the point of view of his step-sister, Lady Cecily. She was very briefly mentioned in the previous book.  She lives in Windsor Castle as one of Queen Elizabeth's Maids of Honor. 

And then there is Drew, Charles's friend who lives in both timelines with Charles, even though they only KNEW each other in the one timeline until they meet early in the book in the other timeline. I actually liked Drew better than Charles for the majority of the book. But I admit, Charles had a lot of responsibilities pressing on him, and by the end of the story, I actually liked all the main characters. 

One thing that might be concerning is the deceit that takes place in the book. Without giving anything away, I will just say that their are consequences and the characters learn to lean on God and trust Him and His will. 

There is mention of adultery and out of wedlock pregnancy, but it is not seen as acceptable. 

There were awesome twists and reveals. And I just have to say, one of the things that I love about these books is discovering which past character or characters might make an appearance. 

I loved this book and can't wait for book 7.
