In the Garden of Iden by Kage Baker
3.0
I have such a conflicted relationship with the Company series. On one hand, the universe it occupies is pretty fricking awesome. The mechanics are bizarre and fascinating - go back in time and turn people immortal, have them live these long lives between the pages of recorded history. It sounds amazing. It sounds like a thrilling story.
It mostly is. But somehow these books don't quite live all the way up to the kind of exciting story arc I was hoping for. It's still good - I still recommend them - but I can't count them among my favorites simply because I kept feeling like something small was missing. There is less action than I hoped for, and more angst. But still - good book, good series.
