Book three of The Navigator Trilogy
Plot: Owen, his friend Cati, and the army of the Resistors together battle the Harsh, an evil, chilling people (literally). The Harsh have complete power over the cold, and if touched by a Harsh warrior, you freeze to death immediately. Owen is the Navigator, master of the time-traveling boat the Wayfarer, and is the only hope to defeat the Harsh. The final battle against the Harsh is close at hand, and the Harsh have been recruiting for their army. The Resistors are losing hope fast, Owen among them. Can Owen find a way to defeat the Harsh or will the world become a vast frozen wasteland forever?
Comments: These books are not exactly fantasy, but they include different worlds, some interesting theories on time, and some magic. I liked this book, but I considered the first book, The Navigator, the best, and The City of Time (the second book) second best. I don’t think Owen as a character developed much in this series, though it seems that this kind of experience would make someone a little wiser, a little older. The characters are all easy to relate to—well, the good people are, not the Harsh or anything—and I like recognizing different traits as familiar characteristics. I can easily imagine the Resistors, and I like how everything is clearly laid out and described, though not in a tedious, uninteresting way. The plot flows smoothly enough, a little confusing at times, though that may be because it’s been a while since I read the first two books.
Rating: I rate this book a six and a half out of ten.
