Infinityglass by Myra McEntire
5.0
With the timeline falling apart and ripples appearing everywhere, members of the Hourglass Institute, are desperate to pool their time-manipulating skills and find a way to fix the continuum before the damage becomes permanent.
A legendary item called the Infinityglass is key to fixing the timeline and getting rid of the rips. The only problem is that the Hourglass isn't the only organization looking for the Infinityglass.
Luckily, the Hourglass has an advantage: They now know that the Infinityglass isn't an object. It's a person. And she is living in New Orleans.
Sent to New Orleans to find the Infinityglass and help her understand her abilities, Dune finds a lot more than he bargained for. Hallie might be the key to fixing the timeline but she is also unpredictable and, for Dune, completely overwhelming. Before Hallie can fix anything, Dune will have to convince her to trust him and, together, they'll have to figure out exactly what being the Infinityglass really means before they run out of time in Infinityglass (2013) by Myra McEntire.
Infinityglass is the third book in McEntire's Hourglass trilogy. It is preceded by Hourglass and Timepiece.
Infinityglass dives in almost exactly where Timepiece left off. I read the two books back to back but I imagine other readers might need a quick recap to make sense of this final installment.
McEntire once again changes narrators here with the story alternating between Dune and Hallie's narrations. Although the change is initially surprising (Hallie is a new character and Dune was a secondary one in the previous books) the choice works here. Both characters are add new aspects to the series.
This story is very plot driven but it still leaves room for the characters--specifically Dune and Hallie--to grow and learn throughout the story.
Although the book's resolution was rushed (and extremely convenient for the characters) it also makes sense for the story and the arc of the trilogy. McEntire also takes the time to give these characters a proper goodbye with an apt epilogue.
This is one of my favorite time travel series and one I highly recommend to anyone looking for an original, readable sci-fi adventure.
