Changes

All three of these young people, in their different ways, have to show immense courage when carrying out their work. Teen books do not share the same conventions as books for younger readers, and the ''Time Riders'' books offer no guarantee that the good guys will get home safe. People die in these books, in all manner of unpleasant ways, and no one is left unscathed by their adventures. Although the bravery and determination of the team offer hope that the eventual outcome of the series will be a positive one, the companions have a dark and gory journey to make, and readers are definitely advised not to read these books just before a meal, or before going to bed.

Further reading suggestion: Readers who want action-packed stories and can cope with a fair amount of bloodshed will also enjoy Patrick Ness's trilogy: [[The Ask and the Answer by Patrick Ness|The Ask and the Answer]], [[The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness|The Knife of Never Letting Go]] and [[Monsters of Men (Chaos Walking) by Patrick Ness|Monsters of Men]].
