The Glass of Time by Michael Cox
4.0
(mild spoilers, but not many...)
I thoroughly enjoyed this sequel to The Meaning of Night. While it may be a little overwritten, particularly in the first half, it is decidedly in-character (since the story is supposedly written by one of the characters). Again the plot twists kept me guessing for a while, though there are definitely things I knew well in advance of their big-reveal. I think anyone having read the first book would have guessed them, though--it's like reading any other story where you know more than the characters do. I confess that I was nervous toward the end, thinking perhaps it was going to all go wrong, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that was not the case.
I enjoyed this duet of books and would gladly read more from this author.
