Fun convoluted time-travel romp. It just about hangs together, though didn't, for me, quite live up to its early promise. A few niggles (an unconvincing romance for one, a rather too insular plot, lots of people not telling what they know until the plot dictates the protagonist should know (though they kinda get away with that one)) but offset by some enjoyable allusions to the Trojan War. The mechanics of time-travel - reminiscent of The Lathe of Heaven - were rather too anthropocentric to really convince, but still interesting and fun.

Damn, I really like this series. It's weird in JUST the right way. With all of the pixies and fairies it seems like it should be a much lighter series than it actually is, but there's a decent amount of violence and BAD things that happen to people - both real and non-real. I dig it. I just wish that I hadn't accidentally caught the description for the next book before I'd finished this one - it spoiled a part of this one that I would've liked to have encountered organically.

On to the next one!… (mais)
