Just One Damned Thing After Another by Jodi Taylor

3.0

Fun enough for me to pick up the next one, but a little erratic in tone. There's a jump from "whoopsie, we're all eccentric tea-drinking historians here!" to more violent death and dismemberment stuff. Also, the impact of actually seeing history, which is supposed to be one of the big draws to becoming a historian who risks one's life daily, somehow comes off a little muted compared to the more fun shenanigans back home in St. Mary's.

There's a definite Connie Willis and Kage Baker influence, but they do better with the atmosphere of witnessing history. I'll go ahead and read the next one, and will probably be happy with it, but that may be enough for me.
