    Tim Powers’ best
  

*by W***Y on Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2023*

I shouldn’t really say that this is Tim Powers best work since I haven’t read everything he has written, but I have read the bulk of his novels and, I think, all of those in his “secret history” series, of which this one is part. And I do think it is the best of them. The sheer number of mythical, historical, scientific, and supernatural elements that Powers stuffs into this book should should result in an an absurd chaotic mass; the complex plot, bursting with action and violence, should be confusing; and the amount of suffering he inflicts on his protagonists should be overwhelming, but he manages to pull it off and leave you feeling completely satisfied at the end.

    Masterfully written; shamefully published
  

*by J***D on Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2021*

I'm writing specifically about the Amazon Kindle edition of this book, which is full of formatting errors, inappropriate paragraph breaks (sometimes in the middle of a word) and miswordings, an altogether amateurish production unworthy of the writing, made all the more shameful in that it could have been prevented by a simple, thorough proofreading.The story concerns an Englishman, a doctor, who is thrust unknowingly into a shadowy involvement with otherworldy beings. Everyone he encounters seems to know more about what is happening to him than he does, himself. His misfortune is our gain, as we get to unravel the twisted tales through his eyes.In the course of his travels through England, France, the Swiss alps, we readers encounter such personages as John Keats, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and Lord Byron. Powers is unequaled at weaving historical personages into unlikely tales and making them seem all too likely in the process. He seems to shine, especially, in period pieces, lending immediacy through detail, and creating a chilling mood through understatement.This is one of his best efforts, on par with Anubis Gates and Drawing the Dark. Which makes it all the more shameful that it has been so ill-handled by Amazon's so-called "publishing" staff. But for their hash-handed editing job, which looks like the efforts of an unpaid and barely literate high-schooler, this review would award it five stars. I urge you to avoid the Kindle edition and purchase a printed and bound version.

    Not my favorite work by Powers.
  

*by F***B on Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2010*

f this book had been written by anyone except Tim Powers, I never would have picked it up. As has been well-established in my reviews, I generally don't like historical fiction or alt.history books very much. I absolutely dislike alt.history when it deals with either World War II or the Romantic poets. And I could see right from the cover that this is an alt.history ghost story in which the hero "aided by his fellow victims, the greatest poets of his day -- Byron, Keats, and Shelley." Oh dear.But still, this is Tim Powers. I love Tim Powers. It would not be an exaggeration to say I have adored almost everything I have read by Tim Powers. So reader, I bought it anyhow.And, well, it wasn't awful. I'm not sorry I read it. I'd even recommend it to a reader more forgiving of historical fiction than I. It may even be a good book for people who might not normally appreciate Tim Powers.But I didn't adore it. & here's why:First, the novel bogs down in its own complications. This is most evident somewhere about 2/3 of the way through the book and in the Venice scenes. I enjoyed the Venice setting, don't get me wrong, but the whole thing became overly complicated right around there-- the biggest effect was I mostly stopped caring about the history of the nephelim and how anyone would try to get rid of them and the columns and the eye. Mostly stopped-- there were some interesting elements there, but much too much of a muchness. At least for me.Second, I found the book suffered from how much it focused on the big well-known historical figures of the poets. In other Powers' books, I seem to recall that while there were famous people included, they rarely played more than a bit part. Since I have my own very vivid notion of these people from my biographical readings, I found his portraits distracted me just a little from the wonderful imaginary toad/real garden thing his books always have to their credit. I also got tired of everyone being a poet. But there you go.I would guess that it mostly suffered, for me, by comparison to his other works. Which is kind of a compliment, in a way.Still enjoyed it. And I'd still recommend it. So there you go.
