Rembrandt rocked his world when he traveled back in time in Cast the First Stone. There’s just as much action as in the first book, and it’s interesting to see how other people’s personalities change because of Rem’s actions. I just hope he loses some of his arrogance in future books.
The only constant in this world is Rembrandt himself, as events and people can change dramatically based on his choices. This gives everything an exciting sense of instability.
Rem is starting to get the hang of this time travel thing, but that has the unfortunate effect of letting his brash personality out. This is especially shown through his interactions with another person who has time traveled. Instead of asking for advice or confessing that he already mucked things up with his last trip through time, he stubbornly doubles down on what he has chosen to do even when warned about potential dangers.
This obstinacy means that his solving anything related to his police work comes off as a lucky coincidence. The fallout from him focusing on everything else looks like it will be dramatic in the third book.
I sincerely hope that Rem learns from the consequences of his choices, both good and bad, in the rest of the series. If not, my irritation with him will cause my ratings to drop.
