I had no much problem with the frequent time jumps. I have read novels that traverses widespread period of time.

There is nothing wrong with how the author makes timeskip in the story. It is just his way to make the story flow. A river would still flow downstream even if it is murky.Moreover, even murky waters have adequate amount of fish to catch.

I was definitely lost in the beginning, I felt that the prologue should have been a chapter within the book because it completely threw off my sense of time and plot line. However, once I got further into the story, the time jumps became exciting and filled in some of the gaps where the present day storyline was clouded by romance.

I agree that the present day story should have had more substance and intrigue. Though, undoubtedly the flashbacks in time periods made the book interesting, trying to connect so many characters.

I think the author did a good job of moving from one time period to the other. She prefaced each chapter with the place and time that it occurred in, so it was quite clear from the beginning which characters you were going to be encountering.

I thought the transitions between time periods were well done. I agree with many of the previous posts that I wished every time period had been more detailed. Using Angela's visions to make the transitions proved smart if a bit abrupt at times.

I agree with you. I think this underlines the brilliance of the writer, being able to tell a story from three different era's and still make sense, is no easy feat. Sometimes books like this require to be read twice, slowly, to fully grasp the story.

Yes, it was a little difficult to catch up with the fast-paced storyline and the regulars time shifts in this book. But, the author's elaborations helped a lot and molded the book in a certain flow.

I found it pretty easy to follow. As you said, the visions allowed for easy transitions. For that reason it was easy to follow.

It was difficult as first but then as reader I took part in all the stories and the switch was easy.
