It has become something of a Christmas tradition, a short story from St Mary's, usually involving some bad advised time travel, uhm, investigation of historical events in contemporary time, of course. This one was very cute. It features Max and Matthew as they travel to 19th century London to bring ...
Clever plot, infused with gentle humour that entertained but lacked the personal angst and historical set-pieces that make the series sparkle. The strong point in this tenth episode of St. Mary's is the plot. Max finally puts together a cunning plan to capture her arch-enemy, Ronan and has to leav...
So the last St. Mary's book, "And The Rest Is History"mangled my emotions with great skill, putting me through much more angst than any allegedly light story about time-travelling historians has a right to. In her introduction to "An Argumentation Of Historians", Jodi Taylor says that her publishers...
This was a really nice short read, for fans of the series. It was all in the story - a bit of heartbreak for the realism in the christmas past. And a bit of a christmas miracle :)
While I've enjoyed all short stories up to this one, they were nice additions but in order to follow the story of the main series, they weren't necessary. Now however, with Christmas Present (another Christmas short story) I would say this is the case, as the events from this short story have certai...
Another short to accompany the main St Mary’s series. While it’s perfectly possibly to follow the series without reading the short stories, I would certainly recommend them as it provides you with some extra adventures and postpones the inevitable moment where you’ll have to return to the normal, no...
For the past few Christmases, Jodi Taylor has published a sort of "St.Mary's Christmas Special" short story, just to add to the festive spirit. "Ships And Stings And Wedding Rings" is a short story in this tradition. The audiobook version is ninety minutes long, a perfect length for a relaxing lis...
Nice little Christmas tale of St. Mary's. Nicely done.(Audible freebie)
After I read the first volume of the Chronicles of St. Mary's, I noticed that the audible version of this (and a few others) were free. They still are and you might want to try them. It is entirely possible to listen or read this short story (its about 30 minutes in audio) without having read volu...
Note: Although this is Book 3.5 in the series, it works fine as a stand alone. The folks of St. Mary’s are time travelers. They have rules and a whole costume department and some pretty snazzy tech, along with whole sheets of language cheats. The mission for this book is one to merely observe. They ...
