second read and I still like this book a lot more than the first one. It's more fast-paced and intriguing and intense.

Mi reflexión al final del libro es que para este viaje no hacían falta tantas alforjas. Me convence la historia a rasgos generales y la voz narrativa me parece interesante. Sin embargo, se pierde en momentos que no interesan y deja de lado a personajes mucho mas interesantes, como el agente Clayton (spin-off ya)

I'm a personal fan of the snarky, 4th wall breaking narrative style of both this book and The Map of Time. I really like the lighthearted attitude that the story is a story, its full purpose in mind throughout the book. The plot twists are fun. I could understand feeling the book is too long but personally I love going on all these random tangents without knowing what the payoff will be but knowing that it will be something relevant after all.

It took me forever to get to the 10% mark to DNF this, and the second I got there, it started doing the "oh ho dear reader let me smugly interrupt to tell you backstory before the plot carries on" thing *again*.

I loved the first book in this series more, because it was about time travel. This one is about a Martian invasion, but still the incredible imaginative style.

These books aren't perfect, but they're definitely fun.

A solid, fun follow up to "The Map of Time." It doesn't match the first book's charm and fun. The influences are worn too much on the sleeve (the first part of the story is a retelling of John Carpenter's The Thing.) Worth picking up only after enjoying the first book.

Me ha encantado la primera parte de la novela. La segunda parte ya se me iba haciendo un poco pesada pero se ponía interesante y todo guay.
Pero es que la tercera me ha parecido tal peñazo repetitivo que hasta desentonaba con todo lo anterior. Dentro de los novelones innecesarios de 700 páginas es muy bueno, pero me parece innecesario ppr momentos.
Porque es un estilo que se recrea en si mismo, pero eso no implica que deba repetirse constantemente y dárselo mascadito al lector.
Es un libro decente pero creo que saltarse algunas páginas de la tercera parte no te hace ningún mal.
Le bajo de 4 a 3 estrellas porque esa última parte me pareció tan insufrible que me deja mal regusto.
Aún así, lo recomiendo si os gusta la novela decimonónica porque imita el estilo genial. En general es una buena novela, pero creo que es demasiado larga para lo que te quiere contar. Los temas están bien trabajados, la historia es decente, el estilo me encanta pero lo recomiendo justituo porque da la sensación de hacerte perder el tiempo sobre todo en esa parte final.
