Mull, Brandon Time Jumpers (Five Kingdoms #5), 434
pages. Aladdin (Simon), 2018. Language: G; Mature Content: G; Violence: PG.
Cole and his friends an allies are desperate – the torivor
Ramarro has escaped his prison. He has
been temporarily trapped inside a time loop in Creon, but he will break free at
any moment. Unless they can find the
final princess and a few other very powerful allies, and put together at least
the glimmer of a plan, not only are the Five Kingdoms doomed, but also Cole’s
home – Earth. Time itself if noth their
enemy and their ally. Cole will have to
stretch himself – his power and his heart – in order to confront his greatest
enemy.
Wow! When it comes to
plotting this tale, Mull has mastered the disparate elements into a cohesive
whole. His weakness, however is the
dialogue. His characters do a whole lot
of talking – in terse sentences that feel strained at many points. Almost every
time a conversation occurred I felt I was being short-changed; I was surprised. But the final action-packed confrontations
were well worth the journey.
