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!! ✌️🤶🤠🍕❤️✅
Good job! 👏 🥸🤪😎🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓😇😎😏😏😏🥰🤩🥳🥳🥳😁😁😁😁☔️☔️☔️

“The Mongol Ascension” by Andrew Varga is a young adult fiction novel that is part of the “Jump in Time” series. The book follows the story of Dan Renfrew, a seventeen-year-old time jumper, who travels back in time to ancient Mongolia in the year 1179 to save the Mongol Empire and the future of the entire world from a band of rogue time jumpers who are bent on taking over the world. The book is well-written and engaging, with a fast-paced plot that keeps the reader hooked from start to finish. The author’s writing style is easy to follow, making it an enjoyable read for young adults and adults alike. The book is also filled with vivid descriptions of the Mongol Empire, which adds to the overall reading experience.

One of the strengths of the book is its characters. Dan Renfrew is a relatable protagonist who faces the usual challenges of high school life but with the added responsibility of being a time jumper. The other characters in the book, including the brave Mongol teen whom Dan and his partner Sam meet on their journey, are also well-developed and add depth to the story. However, some readers may find the book predictable, with a plot that follows a familiar formula of time travel and saving the world.

Additionally, the book may not be suitable for readers looking for a more historically accurate portrayal of the Mongol Empire, as the book takes some creative liberties with historical events. In conclusion, “The Mongol Ascension” by Andrew Varga is an enjoyable young adult fiction novel that is part of the “Jump in Time” series. The book’s engaging plot, well-developed characters, and vivid descriptions of the Mongol Empire make it a worthwhile read for fans of the genre. However, readers looking for a more historically accurate portrayal of the Mongol Empire may be disappointed.

Third in a series of time travel adventures, we find Dan, a 17 year old high schooler facing challenges on every side. Following in the footsteps of his father, who was also a "Time Jumper", Dan jumps back in time with his best friend Samantha who is also a "Time Jumper". They land on the Mongolia steppes to meet a young Genghis Khan. The novel is well paced, well developed and riveting. Along the way, the young Genghis Kahn imparts some sterling life principles to Sam which we would all do well to adopt. There is a minimum of violence and no sex scenes. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and am motivated to read the first two in this series, as well .It wasn't clear to me if the series continues. We are left with the fate of the world hanging in the hands of Sam and his new Time Jumper friends. Must find out how it resolves. If you enjoy time travel novels or are looking for some good material for teens or pre-teems this is an excellent choice.

The Mongol Ascension is the third book in the series written by Andrew Varga. The time glitch that Dan and Sam have to fix takes place in Mongolia during the early years of Genghis Khan. Young seventeen-year-old Temujin is on a quest to rescue his wife from the Merkit army. At first Dan and Sam don’t understand what the glitch is they spend days with the Monguls which includes hordes of armies, near death experiences and fights but nothing obvious about what the glitch they need to fix is. Dan learns important lessons about leadership and how to strategically take down a foe from Temujin. I love the added progression of the character arc of Dan, he’s 17, a time traveler who has inherited the job after his dad was murdered by another time traveler, Victor. Dan not only has to navigate the time traveling world but also high school. How does he stay out of trouble, date and have relationships with others who are not part of the time traveling community. Dan navigates all these challengers the best he can and matures more into what his next role is take down Victor Stahl before he destroys the time travel or community and the world.

Varga is back with another installment in the A Jump in Time series, featuring homeschooled student Dan Renfred. I love seeing other homeschoolers as protagonists in books as there isn't a lot of represenation here. In this book, we travel to 12th century Mongolia. History has glitched and our characters have to help Genghis Khan recover his wife, Borte. There are many narrow escapes, misadventures, and lucky twists, but they succeed in the end. My only complaint? Given Dan's background knowledge, I felt like he should have known who Temujin was without having to look it up! (However, I understand why the author made that call for plot reasons.)

Thank you for the ARC.
I definitely enjoyed this book and the journey. Too bad it wasn't Book-1 in the series. I still dove in and was captivated with each page I turned. This is an awesome adventure for any middle school student.
Time jumps are always exciting to see and learn through the different times of life. A good taste to lightly appreciate science. A good moving story altogether.
I just reviewed The Mongol Ascension by Andrew Varga. #TheMongolAscension #NetGalley

This was the first book in the series that I have read and even without reading the previous 2 books this works as a stand alone book. The premise and story we engaging and even though it is meant for a younger audience kept my attention throughout the book. The history of Genghis Kahn is something I have not read much about and was interesting to learn about his rise to power and quest to unite all the tribes of the area. The history seems to be well researched and enough characters are included to give the story depth while not overwhelming me as a reader trying to keep everyone straight. The time traveling aspect of the book was enjoyable as well. I read some excerpts to my son and he is interested in starting the series from the beginning now. I look forward to experiencing the whole series with him.

A time-travelling adventurous teenage duo end up landing in Mongolia, and unbeknowing to them, they stumble into discovering that, it's up to them to save Mongolia and their future, maybe. They don't teach you this stuff in your history class. Whose for saving the Mongols?
This is the third book in the 'A Jump in Time' series by Andrew Varga. You will be following Dan and Sam as they travel to 1179 Mongolia, via Time Travel, of course. Reading this book will not disappoint you, Mr. Varga writes his story, so that it capitulates you faster and faster in the plot, and Dan and Sam are quite the individuals, to lead you, with their unique personalities, you'll want to stay by their side during whole entire reading. And you won't want to stop there, you adventurous soul, you!
