Out of Time by Lynn Abbey

kristi_asleep_dreaming's review against another edition

3.0

Sort of occult-ish fantasy, like the sequel I've already read. For some reason left me not particularly wanting to read any more in the series, though I found it compelling enough at first. The first few pages, tohugh, were a textbook example of what an infodump is and why it shouldn't be done: a spew of information about her job, marriages, stepkids, most of which never came up again. As if the author wrote a bunch of notes about her character and added them to the story so she wouldn't forget. In the sequal, much of the same information showed up, but gradually, as needed, and much more interestingly, a gradual fleshing out of the character.

There was definitely something about the ending I disliked. The way it stopped. The way Eleanor was such an idiot.
