| Demian's Thoughts: |
This book is of somewhat mixed quality. It isn't as strong as it could be as far as characterization and dealing with sensitive issues are concerned, though it's certainly not terrible. It's also one of the most challenging books in the series to get through, though not necessarily for particularly logical reasons. Finally, it allows at least one law of time to be broken, and it seems to bend one or two others; this is interesting, but it strains the book's believability a bit if you expect more dire consequences for law-breaking than simply looping back and having another shot. All in all, this is pleasantly different and interestingly educational, but its flaws are definitely noticeable. |
