Torrent (The River of Time, #3)

by Lisa Tawn Bergren

When Gabi and Lia finally learn to surf the river of time, they realize they must make hard choices about life and love in Torrent, the third and final book in the River of Time series.

Gabi and Lia Betarrini have learned to control their time travel, and they return from medieval Italy to save their father from his tragic death in modern times.

But love calls across the centuries, and the girls are determined to return forever--even though they know the Black Plague is advancing across Europe, claiming the lives of one-third of the population. In the suspenseful conclusion of the River of Time series, every decision is about life . . . and death.

I figured out from the second book that this wouldn't be from Marcello's point of view, despite the cover. I was thoroughly done with Paratore being the bad guy two books ago. But I liked the addition of the new characters. And I liked the evolution in the character's relationships. Normally, I find it annoying when the main couple is separated because they're the fun of the story. But Gabi actually carried the story well, and Greco helped a good deal with that. He's intriguing and so I think more than anything else I was waiting to see what he'd do to serve his allegiance to Marcello without alienating his kinsmen. In the end…well it didn't quite go as I expected. I mean, I didn't expect him to fall for Gabi. And I expected him to be a tad more honorable. And to recognize the bad guys as despicable and leave them of his own accord, rather than being forced out.  It ended well, though. And had that been the end of the series, it would of worked. But I found myself so deep in the world that I was glad there were more stories to follow.
