★★☆☆☆
Almost unreadable
I just finished this and have to agree that its boring, uninteresting, and almost unreadable. The author seems to have a propensity for going down long blind, and VERY boring alleys of convoluted and confusing family relationships, and in this case a disjointed story that makes little sense. There's a LOT of talk, not very interesting, and no real action to break up the boredom. The 1632 story is interesting, and possibly the best time travel tale ever written, certainly the biggest and most wide spread. However, Flint needs to realize that not everyone can write good material in the 1632 universe. This one wanders off into a singularly uninteresting maze and never returns. My biggest indictment: When I'm reading a book that looses my interest, I tend to start skipping sentences or even entire paragraphs. With this one I started skipping entire pages, and then multiple pages. I'll continue to read Flint and the anthologies in the 1632 universe, but no more of this author. Flint needs to realize that some things just don't work out, and Professional writers tend to be impressed with the skills of other authors, but may not see that they just don't impress the readers for who its all about. These books aren't written to impress other writers, they're written to sell books to people who want to read the story. When the story causes a buyer/reader to not want to read or buy anymore, its time to step back and reevaluate whether to continue. In this case....Not.
