Timekeeper chronicles #2
April 17, 2024 by Devika
Trails and Errors is the second part of the Timekeeper chronicles by Robert Kroon. I found his debut quite confusing due to the many storylines and am really hoping they will come together in this part of the series. What will Robert Kroon have in store?
Despite all efforts, Highpoint Keep has fallen. The General and her three companions have escaped, but are on the run from an overwhelming force. Can they stay ahead of the Daenor and reach Malachon before the shadows take over the General’s mind?
The older brother, captured and wounded, seeks a way to escape his bonds. Finding an unlikely ally, he tries to find out what has become of his brother. Is he able to outsmart his captors, or will he pay the price for his defiance?
In Daenus, the King is faced with a heavy decision: betray the trust of his people or risk losing his crown. The usurper is returning from Highpoint Keep with an army, but there seems to be a way out. Can the King and his daughter turn the tide, even if it means trusting an enemy?
The diplomat, forced into a corner, has chosen to fight his way out. In a battle for more than just his life, he is facing overwhelming odds. Is there still an opportunity to find peace for the country, and more importantly, himself?
Meanwhile, the founder of an ancient order is sharpening his blade. Deeming those who control unnatural powers a danger, he seeks to kill them all. Will his equally unnatural blade be enough, or will he find his match?
A Keeper is faced with his conscience. Torn between his guilt and his duty, he looks elsewhere for answers. Will he choose for his brothers and sisters, or his beliefs?
Just like Elements Unleashes this book has many storylines. During this book only two of them come together, but more hints are given to the connection between all the storylines. Therefore it keeps getting easier to connect all the dots in these books.
There was one storyline I enjoyed most in this book, the one with the elemental fight, but it kept getting interupted by the other ones making the tension doesn’t keep it’s high throughout the story. In my opinion, the storylines could have more chapters after one another in stead of changing after just one chapter.
The writing style in this book is really drawing your attention even though the lots of changes in storylines might scare some readers away. All in all, I think this book is a lot better than the first parts and I am looking forward to see if the dots will be even more connected in the third part in this series. I give Trails and Errors a 3 star rating.
