The River Of Time Series: Book 3- Torrent By Lisa T. Bergren

The third book in the series, but hopefully not the last, Torrent, BLEW MY MIND AWAY!!!!!

*Grins like an idiot* I'm praying that Ms. Lisa gets to continue writing about Gabs and Lia and their adventures for a while, preferably until the end of time.

~~~*~~~

Here's the Synopsis for the book:

When Gabi and Lia finally learn to surf the river of time, they realize they must make hard choices about life and love in 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 love it. I don't even know what to say other than I LOVE this book! Which means I'm going to have spoilers so **READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!!**


Gabi, Lia, and their mother have found a way to save their father (!!) :O *gasp* Yup. So, remember that surprise in end of the last book? THIS IS IT! And just like Cascade, it starts of right where the book last ended. The girls have now gone back in time (again) to Medieval Italy with their father. So of course, there are a lot of different types of problems they encounter right from the get-go.

Like, how do they explain to their father why they've been acting so strange towards him, and why they all know how to fight (exceptionally well) with swords, bows and arrows, and spears?
Then to add to their problems, they've came back a year ahead from the last time they were there last. This holds a lot of problems for Gabi. She wonders if Marcello still feels the same way towards her, and if he does, what does the future (past?) hold for them? And her family?

Another great problem the Betarrinis have to face is the reality of the Black Plague. With Gabi's heart laying with Marcello- in 14th century Italy, how will they face the possibility of loosing one another to a illness that has no cure?

But, of course, their problems don't end there. A year as passed since last battle between the Firenze and Siena, but the outcome of that war has changed something in the future, so now, Gabi and her family are acutely aware of the impact they have on the future.

The threat that immerses in this book, however, has nothing to with that. Fortino- Marcello's elder brother, is still held captive under Firenze and while Marcello wants nothing more than to get his brother back, and has tried all sorts of diplomatic and sane way to get him back, nothing has worked. So of course, when Gabi persuades Marcello to try again, in a less diplomatic and sane way to save Fortino, more unfortunate situations unravel for the she-wolves.

For one, the only way Firenze would give Fortino up is if Marcello surrenders the She-Wolves (Gabi & Lia) and we know Marcello wont let happen. Other sorts of problems also arise though; now that Gabi and Marcello have established their relationship, how will they convince Gabi's family that staying in 14th century Italy is right? And when Gabi has to depend on Lord Greco to get her out of a mess, why does she end up questioning herself and his loyalty?

Man!! This book, is by far, my favorite! I mean, I loved the last two books, but Torrent has got me reading parts over and over and over again!

I loved the ending, it's peaceful, but it hints of a new sort of adventure ahead. By the end of the book, Gabi, who's been through so much trauma in this book, Lia, who's learned what sacrifice truly means, and the rest of their family have grown so much, it's incredible. I feel like I've been on  the best sort of journey with all of the characters and I love it.

This book in particular made me swoon, hurt, and pray for Gabi. I don't want to say too much without spilling everything, but the only thing I can say is that if you've already picked up Waterfall and Cascade, you'll ADORE Torrent.
