Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se irá gostar deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. Continuation of the alternate history series about Atlantis. ( ) Disappointing. I enjoyed most of the first book in this series, but I noted in my review that the last section was little more than a retelling of the French and Indian War in our own timeline. To me, this is lazy alternate history, if you can even call it alternate history at all; nothing has changed except the setting and the characters, after all. It's straight fiction. If it was being sold as straight fiction, then it would be better; as it is, it's not alternate history. But I held out hope that the next book would be different. Then I saw the title, and began to dread reading the book. I checked it out of the library, though (as I did the first one), and settled in for a read. I won't be finishing this one. It is a fictionalized retelling of the American Revolution. It got to the point where I was writing down the parallels with our own timeline on a slip of paper I had with me. There's the Ben Franklin character, the Sam Adams firebrand patriot character, and the George Washington "unwilling general" character. I'm not very far in, and I can already predict how it's going to play out. I love Turtledove's books. I enjoyed Ruled Brittania. I enjoyed In the Presence of My Enemies. I enjoyed Guns of the South. But I'm not investing the time in another extended series that only proves that no matter what happens, the grand sweep of history really doesn't change. An alternate history that isn't alternate is not what I'm looking for, and I'm very disappointed in this offering from "The Master of Alternate History." sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
