There is really no letup in this series, the world is well established, the pieces are in place and this third book brings not one, but two big showdowns. Satisfying every time.

This series takes a turn towards heavy politics from the start of this book. If you're not into Machiavellian maneuverings, then caution is advised.

While I sometimes have trouble keeping the characters, the races (human, hybrid, Tanu, Firvulag, Howler) and the factions within in race straight (yes, I would have liked a cast of characters list), the story itself moves right along and plot developments resolve some issues and complicate others. I like the blending of time travel, modern/futuristic technology, tools, and weapons, and metapsychic powers. One more book in the Saga of Pliocene Exile to bring it to a satisfying conclusion, I hope!

I'm really enjoying the arc of this series, that none of the original main characters feel safe, that new heroes and anti-heroes are introduced and the world expands to other regions and more lore and traditions of the world are played out.

A la que llega el tercero, la cosa empieza a flojear. Los personajes más interesantes se han perdido y varias escenas las lees en diagonal porque los que quedan no son la mitad de interesantes de lo que se creen.

The adventure continues and things got quite intense by the end. I'm curious to see how this will all close out! One book left to go.
