A review by chalicotherex
Caine's Law by Matthew Woodring Stover

4.0

Re-read this recently and liked it more than the first go round. It makes more sense when you can see the twist coming (I've never been a big fan of time travel, especially when it's introduced late into a series). It's also a lot cornier than the previous Caine novels, but it's a fantasy book, so there's no right to complain on that account. Caine becomes less interesting as he becomes less violent in old age, but the supporting characters become more interesting. Would like to see more Stover novels set in Overworld, maybe even sans Caine. Or just more Stover writing in general.

Stover's novels, ranked:

1. Blade of Tyshalle and Caine Black Knife (tie)
3. Heroes Die
4. Shatterpoint
5. Caine's Law
6. Traitor
7. RotS
8. Jericho Moon
9. Iron Dawn
10. Shadows of Mindor

I haven't read any of his other media tie-in novels.
