      First, to answer the book's title, everything! When the protagonist, Max, believes that her team's historical excursions will be as easy as 1..2..3, the reader know that they will be anything but. The novel opens with Max being only recently wed and reassigned as Training Officer for five new historian recruits. Max takes her new recruits on "easy" jaunts to observe Stone Age hunters; to converse with the father of history, Herodotus; to view the execution of Joan of Arc; and to find themselves between the warring parties in the War of the Roses. As always the historical events are well researched providing the reader a fun and entertaining medium to learn history.

      From the mouths of the denizens of St. Mary's, "What Could Possibly Go Wrong?" sounds like famous last words indeed. Maxwell is still recovering from a knee injury sustained at the end of the prior book and thus relegated to training the latest crop of historian trainees. Her plan is to front load some easy time travel jumps to hasten their training. What could possibly go wrong? quite a it actually. The Fields of Bosworth, the Buring of Joan of Arc are visited. Wooly mammoths and a dead pig make memorable appearances (if dodos should come to mind ...) I adore this crew of kick butt time traveling historians, who raise hell, but believe in the healing powers of a good cup of tea. Taylor'sprosedelights with its wry tongue-in-cheek humor reminiscent of P.G. Wodehouse. I recommend.

      Such an awesomely awesome series, but now I have to wait till May for the next one, and that makes me sad.
    • 4/5
      The crazy time-travelers - er, sorry, historians who research in contemporary time - of St. Mary's are back. In this one, Max has new trainees under her wing and must take them to various places to prepare them for the rigor of studying history in contemporary time - but there's a mole at St. Mary's and she's also determined to find out who's attempting to take them down!It's the sixth in the series, so you know the kind of madcap adventure you're in for, right? This is a solid entry into the series, and I'm looking forward to reading more.
    • 4/5
      Fun and hilarious as always. I love the antics of the St. Mary's squad. One thing that I particularly liked about this entry is that it explicitly talks about something that makes these books special: why do they act so childishly? Why are they always doing stupid and puerile things? As the book explains, it's because it's the only way they can cope with the horrors that they see and experience. That's the thing about these books: they are so funny and fun, and they seem so lacking in seriousness, but then they slam with you something really sad and/or horrifying. These books are generally presented as light and funny, which they are, but they also all balance that humor and lightness with genuinely sad and scary moments. I think these books are deeper than they are generally credited with being.

      The series continues to be funny and entertaining! This one had a very final feeling at the end of it... I hope it won't be the last one!
    • 5/5
      I bless the day I discovered this series. I don’t remember the last time I read an entire series back to back. Delightful story telling. I love it.

      What could go wrong? With the crew from St. Mary's - everything. Simple training jumps turn into chaos. I love this series about time-traveling historians
    • 4/5
      I liked this more than most of the other books in the series, although I liked most of them enough to continue reading the series. This one was episodic but with a good through line -- the training by Max of new recruits. There is not much of Max and Leon's relationship but that's fine. The other characters, Markham, Peterson and the new recruits are all interesting.

      .How do you train an historian at Saint Mary's? Join a mammoth hunt, attend a saint''s martyrdom and watching the end of the Plantagenet line are all part of the curriculum as Max takes over the Training Department. Interesting twists of our past create a fertile arena for Jodi Taylor to explore; often with startling results.
    • 4/5
      Max and those crazy historians of St. Mary’s are back. This installment is almost tame compared to the earlier books. Tame, that is, if you discount the baby mammoth poo all over one of the pods, five trainees being trained by Max, one of the trainees with an agenda of his own having to do with Richard III, and a not so unexpected twist at the end.
    • 5/5
      Another outstanding installment of the crazy adventures of my favourite time travelers --- oops I mean Historians. I knew it was going to be fabulous just by the title alone & if you have read any other book in this brilliant series, you know, things ALWAYS go horribly wrong. I have mentioned before that the highlight of this series is the characters and the quick wit and this one does not disappoint. Oh yeah and truly enjoyed the little quip about the Canadian border and umm a Baby Mammoth - no I will not discuss further - all you need to know is -- Baby Mammoth“Will he be able to understand us, sir? It’s a foreign language over there. I’ve heard they spell plough with a “w”?’ ‘I share your horror,’ he said, ‘but since I have the strongest doubts that anyone in the History Department can spell the word plough in any language, I do not feel this is an insurmountable barrier to admission at St Mary’s.”
    • 4/5
      The sixth novel in the St. Mary’s time travel series finds the gang visiting the Valley of the Kings in ancient Egypt, the Pleistocene Era, Joan of Arc’s burning at the stake, and Richard III’s downfall at Bosworth Field. The historical bits are interesting enough to keep the rest from being too formulaic, for now.
