The Map of Time

3.5 Stars. interesting and well-written. This story is clearly well thought out, and was able to hold my interest for its nearly 700 pages. It's a very creative story line that made for a good story. I'm not a huge fan of the way the author talks directly to the reader sometimes and mentions how he just sees this story playing out. Also, he takes a lot of tanget stories. And the ending, I have mixed feelings about it. It's not what I expected, and it's well done, but I was kind of hoping he'd take a different route.
