Last Call by Tim Powers

5.0

The story of Last Call explodes in the beginning in Big Bang fashion only to coalesce in the end as the major and minor characters come together for a conclusion that is not only inevitable but truly fated. You will not love the protagonist; I expected more reviewers to take issue with the (not explicit) incest angle, but I saw it coming. Anyone familiar with Tarot imagery - or with a penchant for ritual magic - will get more out of the story. It felt a lot like TED Klein's The Ceremonies, and I loved that one.

I do see how the story would bore some readers, though.
