jedi_jesse 's review for:
The Rise and Fall of D.O.D.O.
by Nicole Galland, Neal Stephenson
I did enjoy this while reading, but am a bit irked by the sudden ending.
And what seems like a plot hole:
In subsequent Strands, Grainne is "wending" and so she knows what happened in Tristan's previous visits, I have no problem with that.
But despite the fact that those subsequent visits start a day earlier, recall that she explicitly told him to come the day before next time and confirms this: "He has been Sent to several Strands, always on the Sunday". So the fight never happens and they never get clothes from the theatre...but she always has the clothes ready for him when he arrives AND she ends up with the dropped dagger in that last Strand (which the authors draw attention to as being the dagger from that first fight).
I hoped this was some clue about Grainne's abilities that would pay off later, but...now it just seems like a mistake.

In Tristan's first DEDE, the very first strand, he gets in a fight with one of Grainne's customers who drops a dagger. Later Tristan and Grainne go get a bunch of clothes from the theatre.In subsequent Strands, Grainne is "wending" and so she knows what happened in Tristan's previous visits, I have no problem with that.
