And then there was Gaige, Stassi’s partner, whose personality just seemed like a big mess to me. Stassi’s inner voice was great at first, but then as the book go on, it just got more whinny and somewhat annoying. DOWN? - Yes, this is definitely a problem. There are certain scenes that I feel like didn’t really contribute to the story at all, and the breakfast talks alone can take forever.ĬHARACTER DEVELOPMENT THAT GO…. It is soooo sloIt’s about six hundred pages and, boy, does it draaggggg. However, this book couldn’t keep its grip till the end.ĭRAGGING PLOT - This is my biggest pet peeve for this book. Unfortunately, it failed to keep my intention throughout the journey. Me when I first saw The Syndicate: Oooh… Time Travel. When the stakes are raised and it becomes a matter of life or death, Stassi and Gaige must ultimately decide how far they’re willing to go to ensure the future as they know it. But a seedier side of life lurks beneath the glamorous façade, and the pair quickly learns this run is more dangerous than any of their previous missions.īecause history isn’t playing out as it should be-a first for the syndicate. She and her partner, Gaige, are swept up in the City of Light during the height of fashion and culture-as alluring a locale as they’ve ever visited.
Stassi’s next assignment takes her to Paris in the 1920’s, in search of a lost manuscript by one of the twentieth century’s greatest writers. Her job is to seamlessly slip through the past, in search of items of value to the syndicate’s clientele.
As a Runner for one of the underground syndicates that now controls the timewaves, Stassi 2446-89 has seen it all: the fall of Rome, the rise of Hitler, the end of democracy, the establishment of time tourism, and the devastating consequences of it.
In a future where time travel has been outlawed, a black market exists for anyone with the money, connections, and nerve to request items from days past. In no way this can affect my opinion on the book. *I received this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
