Against the tide of years

I really love this time travel/alternate history series! Chomping at the bit for the third one so I’ll need to track that down asap. A LOT happens in this globe spanning epic w/ a large cast of characters, but it doesn’t feel bogged down. I adore many of the characters (especially the Hollard siblings and their royal love interests 😉) and I think the author does a great job of not making the ancients stupid or inferior to the Nantucketers.
