Bearing an Hourglass by Piers Anthony

4.0

The trope of events running in reverse was a rare plot device in science fiction, and even rarer in fantasy. How Piers Anthony managed to expand this into a narrative that interacted with events running through the normal course of time was a rather interesting take and it was a major inspiration that led me to pursuing writing as a fulltime vocation - realizing that walls are meant to be broken. The rather incestuous relationships disturbed though, however well they were couched - sometimes I feel this could have been better presented, even though it became a major theme for the series.
