A review by katmarhan
The Nonborn King by Julian May
4.0
8/10
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!
