Book Review: Torrent by Lisa T. Bergren

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.


Our Thoughts...

This is the third book in the River of Time series and matches perfectly with the two previous books. This was our favourite book or most of us liked Torrent best. This is probably the most serious book in the series with life and death looming in all of the situations. Gabriella, especially must endure terrible events and makes the ultimate choice to stay forever...but are her parents and sister willing too?

Gabriella matures considerably in this book. She is no longer the awkward teenager from Waterfall or a a stubborn girl in cascade but a woman who thinks about others and their wishes. Marcello still waits, even after a year between Cascade and Torrent for his bride to say yes. He especially matures and is one of the leaders in the Nine, which is a politically lead group for Siena. While Castello Forelli is still ruled by Firenze and Fortino's life is hovering between life and death, Marcello has to make a move to save his brother, his Castello, and protect his lady. The entire book was refreshing and amazing! You will enjoy the battles, handsome Italian knights saving damsels in distress, and the power of friendship in this fun read.
