Last Call: A Novel by Tim Powers

4.0

I enjoyed this book. Found some of the poker stuff confusing - I have a basic understanding of poker, but this was way over my head, and whenever there was a description of an actual poker game I found myself losing interest. Some of the climatic scenes were a little over-the-top, but overall the plot moved at a good pace, the characters were interesting, and the world-building was well-done. There is a lot going on in this book but Powers makes it all pretty digestible so the reader doesn't get lost. Another good read by Tim Powers.
