Publisher's summary

Reader, Writer, and Maker: All three novels of the Daughter of Time series in one book.

Speculative fiction with time travel, alien armageddon, metaphysical mysteries, action, adventure, cosmology, cybernetics, religion, and romance!

Reader

From the future, a final plea. Out of the past, a last hope.

Ambra Dawn, a young girl born to die in freakish disregard. A doomed world, enslaved to forces unseen. A final hope beyond imagining. Become a Reader, because in the end, the most unbelievable step in the adventure - will be your own.

Writer

From hatred, Love. From many, One.

A love story and sci-fi epic about the beautiful and terrible destiny of profoundly star-crossed lovers with a galaxy's fate in their hands.

Maker

Until all is lost, nothing is found.

Conclude the epic story of Ambra Dawn in the final installment of the trilogy. A story in which the one that was lost will be found, where a thief will guide through chaos and time, and where all that was held dear will perish. And in that final and utter destruction, there will be a Creation.

"Literary fiction that transcends its genre." ( Portland Book Review)
"Unique and altogether profound, reminiscent of Bradbury, haunting, thought-provoking and surprisingly philosophical." ( San Francisco Book Reviews)

starts strong ends flat

I loved the way this trilogy started and really hoped to keep the momentum going. but it seemed to peak at book 2. book 3 was great because of Cloan and her spunk but fell flat at the end. always entertaining but left me hoping for more.

A stitch in time

I don’t begin to understand some of this novel but I understand enough. The rise and fall different things in this novel are beautiful. Ambra done it’s a beautiful creature and this is a beautiful story trilogy. I recommend this book is so beautiful.

lost out, then - [Silent Hill]

author lost focus, rescinded story with metaphors. did not end story, instead gave the review of a student in chemistry or earth science that had fell asleep during class in metaphysics, entertaining relativity. A C+ for class participation. Reader, writer, wrong.

A Great First Book In A Terribly Average Trilogy

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

No; I would've liked to say it was but... no. It was not well-spent time. While Reader (the first book in the trilogy) was quite enjoyable, the other two were boring, confusing, and incredibly repetitive.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

I would've stuck to Ambra Dawn's POV, rewrite that atrocious romantic plot device that was Writer, and made it into a story of a semi-omnipotent girl on the path to self destruction. If you've only listened to Reader, you might think this is where the story will lead you but... I'm afraid I must shatter your dreams.

What about Maria Marquis’s performance did you like?

Her performance in Reader and Maker was very good; she conveys Ambra's emotional state so well I could not help but be completely enthralled by her painful journey. I felt it. Unfortunately, Writer is told from a male character's perspective, and she had to deepen her tone; as a result, her narration suffered.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

I would gladly watch Reader; the other two I would ignore.

Any additional comments?

I wanted to like this trilogy, I truly did, but it seems most of the author's creative efforts were invested in Reader, and from there he didn't quite reach the story he wanted to tell. Either that or his aim was to alienate all of us who liked Reader.

Engages heart and mind in perfect symmetry

Intelligent, and emotional. Daughter of time surpassed all expectations. The narration is one of the best I've ever heard.
