Just a quick note to say a couple of things...
1. This series has a slow start, but please stick with it till you hit the pliocene.
2. Julian May started me on a path of reading that has become almost a lifetime's obsession. My thanks.

Na maanden toch beslist om deze niet uit te lezen. Het is eerder een kwelling om hier in verder te gaan voor mij.

A lot happens to more characters than I could keep track of. I would have given it a 3.5 if half stars were allowed. I am going to miss certain characters when I read the next book in the series.

re-reading for about the tenth time. Follows Elizabeth and Aiken, and you learn more of Marc

It’s a little tricky to keep track of all the various plots and plotters, but overall, this is quite the adventure. The blend of meta-psychic abilities (which certainly seem like various forms of magic) and the science fiction aspects of time travel and star-faring aliens makes for a story that is hard to classify but easy to enjoy.
A list of characters with their titles would have helped me a lot as I had trouble keeping them straight, especially the Tanu. My favorite aspect is the overlay of ancient Celtic mythology—the races (Tanu/Tuatha de Danaan and Firvulag/Fir Bolg), the characters (Brede/Brigid, Pallol/Balor, Lugonn/Lugh, etc.), and the symbols (cauldron, spear, sword).
