In the Garden of Iden by Kage Baker

I think the idea of The Company is really cool. Time travel! Immortals! Though I do have a question about time paradoxes. If you can't change recorded history, no matter how hard you try, fine. But now it's set up so a lot more of history is being recorded than ever before, right? Isn't that causing problems?
I liked it and I'll definitely read more of the series. Though I do hope it has a conclusion of some sort since the author's in ill health.
My one problem with it is that there's this introduction that explains the backstory, which is fascinating, but then kind of took away from the joy of discovery. You're no longer learning things along with the main character, because you already know more than she does up until a certain point.
Yet.. well, here's a paradox on its own.. the main character can do things that we didn't know she could do. Just, out of nowhere, she's doing some new Immortal trick that we the reader weren't aware she could do.
So I wanted to know no more than the main character. Yet I also did want to know _as much as_ the main character.
Anyway, yes, will read more.
