My 15 year old has read every book of this series, and was excited about the chance to read the third one. I will defer to him for the review: The first part of the book was the best of the series, and he loved the time travel part. The end of the book was a bit slower and he didn't enjoy that part as much. Overall, a solid book and he is looking forward to continuing in the series.

A great blend of fiction, fantasy, and historic action. I loved the story and the characters. The author paints a vibrant picture through the battle scenes, buildup, and drama of the book.

Did not start reading it, because after I got approved, I found out that this the Third book in a series, and I do not have time to get to those first. So yeah that was a bit of a bummer as I liked the Synopsis of this book.

I found myself surprised that this novel is classified as middle grade. Typically, middle grade novels have the protagonist being at an age close to 13yrs, but Dan is 17yrs-he drives, he's worried about romance. While there are other considerations for making something middle grade, such as the maturity level, I was thrown by its suggested audience. With that said, I also understand why it might not appeal to a young adult audience. Despite its exciting moments of battle and high school concerns, there is a slowness to the book to make it easier to follow and it has a great deal of repetition. So I would suggest this book to more of an avid reader than just the average middle schooler.
As for the novel itself, I enjoyed it. I appreciate all the historical facts that were woven into the story. I like the historical notes at the end that really highlights how much of the truth was kept in the story. I know this book is part of a series, and while I did not read the previous two books, there were enough references to the previous novels that I did not have any trouble following along with the overarching plot line. As a fan of history, I love to learn new things, and this book certainly taught me something new about the Mongols.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this book.

This book wasn't really my cup of tea. I thought I would give it a try as I have been trying.different gonre and liked the descri, but could just not get into the book. It fell flat for me.

That is not to say others would not like it. For me, it was a ho hum three stars.

Review: Aw shucks, the reluctant hero with a heart of gold. At 17 YO can take out 5 guys with his martial arts skills and kill known criminals (in self-defense of course). All the girls want to bang him but he walks around clueless until they jump in his lap. His demeanor and abilities shift around to fit the current story line. When he needs information he is suddenly and easily kidnapped and acts like a whipped puppy. He either is a badass or not, but using the MC as a plot device is never a good way to write.

Despite the MC being written as a total asshat, the story line and movement are really good. The historical world building is, as far as my limited education in history allows, very expansive. I think the author does a great job with world building and SHE should be principle to the series. Just kill off dumbass and let her take over the MC role.

I still had a great time reading this.

Rating: 4.4/5

My thanks to Imbrifex books and NetGalley for the ARC. This book takes the reader in a different direction with the time travelers Dan and Sam encountering Genghis Khan. Life in the modern world also does not disappoint as more about Dan’s life and the plans Victor has come to light. The third book in this series does not disappoint leaving Dan bolder than ever. I cannot wait for the next book. Well done!

In this third offering in the Jump in Time series, Dan Renfrew takes on bullies at school, finds some local friends at his high school and in his hometown, and, along with Sam, visits the Mongol Empire and meets Genghis Khan.

He is still trying to find a way to stop Victor, who is intent on ruling the world using time jumping. As usual, Sam and Dan risk their lives repeatedly when they find themselves part of Temujin's forces in his attempt to recapture his kidnapped wife, Borte, from another tribe. This adventure was the start of his ascent to power.

Dan was seriously injured and had to jump back to the present for help where he confirmed that Temujin was indeed Genghis Khan. Returning to 1100's, he found Sam very upset with him.

The two finally manage to complete their mission and return to the present, where they still have issues to work out.

Fans of the series for younger students, The Time Warp Trio, will love this series as well as history buffs.

Dan is a young high school student with a strange ability. He belongs to a group that can skip back and forth in time with the use of a strange transmitter. His goal is to correct glitches in time that may alter the future by altering the past. He and his friend Sam (Samantha) have the same devices and travel together. The device also assists in adjusting speech and other communications into understandable language.

He learns to defend himself at the hands of Roman Gladiators.

A time glitch has occurred during the 5th to 7th centuries and he and Sam decide to go back to save humanity and fix the glitch. The issue is: will they die trying or will they actually meet the group they need to help?

This particular glitch centers around Genghis Khan! Gengis is considered one of the premier historical figures of all time. As history tells us, Genghis spent his life in battles; both in Asia and in Europe. Can a teenager from the 21st Century become one of the Khan’s trusted allies?

This book moves well and seems historically accurate. I warn every reader to be sure they have time to devote to the book. You won’t want to put it down! 4.5 stars – CE Williams

Another Varga time travel book that completely captivated me! To be frank, I was uncertain how much I’d like reading about Genghis Khan. However, it didn't take many pages at all before I could not put it down. Now I can’t stop thinking about how charming, inspirational, and loyal he is portrayed in this book. Then there’s Dan’s development in current times with other time jumpers, Victor’s plot to take over the world, and why is Victor almost obsessed with Sam. So many knots to unravel.

This book - another time jump novel. I absolutely fell in love with this series and have not been disappointed yet again. I think Andrew Varga has done something great with this series. It was one of my favourite reads last year - and this addition to the series has become one of my favourites of this year. I hope to see more from Varga!!

Thank you to Net Galley for the ARC

This was a very enjoyable historical fiction. I can see young readers enjoying this as an introduction to the Mongol empire. It is a great vessel to make people interested in history without being boring, and the author has done his homework. This was obviously very well researched from the historical characters, to the setting, to what Mongols liked to eat and drink. I appreciate the attention to detail and it makes the reader feel as though they are right there with our time traveling protagonist.
Speaking of, Dan is a great character to see this world through. I think that young readers in particular (but honestly everyone) will be able to identify with his struggle of having this huge responsibility and trying to be a normal teenager at the same time. It is a difficult thing to juggle. I have not read any of the other books in this series (I was unaware that it was a series when I requested it) but that did not hinder my enjoyment of the book. The basic premise and plot that seems to be present in all the books was very easy to pick up on in this one and I did not feel like I was behind at all.
Overall I thoroughly enjoyed this and will be recommending it to some family members who I also think would enjoy it.

Did you ever wonder if you went back in time and changed just one thing how the world might be a better place? What if you had the means to fix history? Dan Renfrew is caught in a world of time jumpers. Once again he plunges into time with Sam and together they look for ways to discover and repair a time glitch. The pace is entertaining. The plot keeps you on your toes. Dan manoeuvres between never fitting in, relationships, and learning how to survive. The Mongol. Ascension takes you back to a period on the steppes of Mongolia. What is the glitch? How can Dan and Sam stay alive as they get thrown into another race against time while other time jumpers try to stop them. The adventure continues.

I received this arc from Net Galley in exchange for my honest review.
The Mongol Ascension is the third installment in this time travel series. Best suited for middle grade to YA this series is packed with adventure and a little romance.
I enjoyed the characters Dan and Sam immensely and found the time travel parts interesting and well researched. I like Dan also learned something about himself and how to deal with the villain in the story.
I didn't know much about the Mongols before reading this book and I felt like I learned something too.
I'd like to get this series for my son in junior high as I think this would be right in his wheel house of interest.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
This is book 3 in the series and I think each book just keeps getting better.

I will start this off by saying that I was dumb and didn’t read the disclaimer that said this was the third part in a series. So, that might have affected my perception of the book as a piece of a larger whole. However, with that said, I was definitely able to enjoy this book as a stand-alone, and I don’t think that there was too much plot or context that I was missing to be able to understand what was happening.

This book was a fun historical adventure. As someone who does not know too much about the history of Mongolia but loves fiction set in the past, learning about new places, and time travel adventures, this story was a good and interesting read. The author is great about making the characters feel like real young people in my opinion. He is also good at not making the past feel like a walk in the park, as the characters face several trials that feel realistic to what they would actually face when going back to a distant, unfamiliar past.

Overall, I would give this book 4.5 stars rounded up to 5, as it was fun and enjoyable, as well as informative. I will definitely be reading the first two books in the series!

Time jumper + mongolia + lets save the world - and I jumped write into it.
This is an interesting series, and it is well-written. I was interested to see the world and story unfold, and did I mention Genghis Khan is also there.
A fun read :)

I really enjoyed this novel even though I had not read the first two in the series (I am now going back and reading them.) This series is a great way to introduce history to kids and adults. The twists between dealing with modern day issues and then trying to not die while figuring out what is going wrong in history and how to solve it was masterful. I can't wait to read more about how they will keep the bad guys from messing up the past and the future.
Thank you to #NetGalley for the ebook ARC of #TheMongolAscension in exchange for my honest and independent review.

Adorably wealthy in entertainment, love, and adventure adorned honorably with valor and credibility. Very insightful and wisdom derived like a night owl on branch of sight and action. Couldn’t put this one down until I found how it ended. However, even though the ending felt open ended like a book 4 was a pending possibility, it was still a great read! 😁

Lots of motivation and drive throughout of empowerment and growth mentality with intent to callouse minds of toughness and self-discovery of self, others, and environment.

I very much enjoyed reading this book. I am interested in reading more books by this author! Romanticizing meets History books on a walk through the light museum of time traveling and relationships/friendships. Strong writing voice and skill.

A pleasure reading and reviewing this book. Thank you for the opportunity!! ✌️🤶🤠🍕❤️✅
