I have read all John Heldt’s Northwest Passage “Time Travel” stories. Rather than provide a synopsis on each and every one, I’m instead going to simply state my assessment of these novels as a whole and include it as a review on each one of the of the series.

Every story is about traveling into the past and setting the stage for the future. If you like time-travel, you’ll love this series. If I had to pick my favorite, for now I think “The Journey” would be it, but that’s just me.

Every story is a stand-alone novel. Occasionally there will be a subtle reference to one of the other novels, but that too is sufficiently explained to make it germane to the current story without requiring one to read any of the other stories.

Because every story is stand-alone, they don’t have to be read in any order. However, reading them in the sequence of being written will enable the reader to make most of the “connections” no matter how subtle they are. (“The Journey” is the only one that doesn’t appear tie in to the others – unless I missed something.)

What impresses me the most is how the author managed to tell five different stories, yet have them tie together in so many subtle ways. How was he able to keep track of everything? And, bless his heart, he doesn’t introduce too many characters to keep track of (I hate getting most of the way through a novel only to wonder “who’s Fred?” when he shows up long after being forgotten by myself).

The only “negative?” comment I might make is that the protagonists exercise “wisdom” way beyond their age when dealing with others. And, that’s not really a negative, but a wish that I might have shown such wisdom at that age instead of “acquiring” it the hard way.

The Mirror Northwest Passage Book 5 eBook John A Heldt Reviews

Rarely ever do I reread a novel (so many books, so little time); however, I've enjoyed this series so much, I might just reread all five of them.

Others have more than adequately detailed the story line; I feel no need to repeat that. I can say that I thoroughly enjoyed the brief romp through a part of 1964. The life styles and mores of the time were accurately portrayed. And I feel that IF this series MUST end, this wrap up is a good one.

I am left with some dangling questions (tiny spoiler alert) How did Steve's life turn out? I sensed potential with him, to perhaps become much more than was exhibited at his last appearance. Did the new time stream alter Virginia's later life, and/or her cause of death? What was the true significance of 5/2 and 9/11 and all the Michael's and Katie's? Not to mention the original intent of the special mirror Grandpa Michael had built. Did he know/intend it to be a time portal? I suppose I will never know.

The writing is excellent and I eagerly await the launch of John Heldt's next series!
5 Stars+
If you read the other 4 books in the series, then you will enjoy this one as well. As a stand-alone book however, it wouldn't work, you absolutely need the background of the past stories, even though this is it's own complete story. Hard to explain without spoiling, but the ending didn't really work for me, it seemed too rushed, all of a sudden wrapping up a. huge chunk of time like an epilogue, and inconsistencies with how time travel worked in the first 4 stories. All in all "OK", a fun easy read if you don't try to analyze it too much.
Reading serial books in the wrong order seems to be a habit I cannot break. After several attempts, I finally managed to finish the fifth book in John Heldt’s Northwest Passage series of time travel stories. The series contains two stand alone novels “The Journey” and “The Fire” and three others that are tied into the tribulations of the time traveling family of Joel Smith and Grace Vandenberg Smith “The Mine,” “The Show” and “The Mirror.” Prior to reading “The Mirror” I had discovered an article wherein Heldt discusses the difference between a love story and a romance novel. Ever since I finished my first John Heldt book, I have suspected the author to be a committed romantic. Or maybe he’s just a guy who can’t refrain from writing love stories with a time travel twist. Nothing wrong with that although I have longed at times for fewer of the mushy encounters and more action scenes in his novels. “The Mirror” takes the twin girls of Joel and Grace back from the year 2020 to the mid-Sixties. This reader was born in the Forties, came of age in the Sixties, and now as a seventy-something senior finds himself face-to-face (almost) with that year 2020 so predominant in this novel. Time flies when you’re getting old, I guess.
this is most definitely a good time travel series i have read all the other books in the series and plan to read future books but. (notice the 4 stars) the Mirror is very close to currant time set in the 1960s which means i easily remember living through that time and catch mistakes quickly. Calling someone the "go to" person was not part of the language then for example small mistakes take me out of the story for a few seconds and as in all the books the language is very formal. I don't remember anyone who constantly answered questions with "I do" or "I will" they were more likely to say "yes" or "okay" those things again took me out of the book and more often that the few time inconsistencies. A small complaint here but the cover shows a gold looking frame on the mirror and quite an issue of it being wood was in the book Still it is very worth the read and it does stand alone as does every book in this series and that is a big bonus as far as I am concerned The fact that the time travelers were twin sisters gave the book twice the fun to read.
