starsal 's review for:
Lies, Damned Lies, and History
by Jodi Taylor
I have long ago come to accept that I am not the kind of person who feels any sort of remorse reading the last pages, or even skimming the last few chapters of a book, before continuing reading it. Especially if events are making me anxious. But this book marks the first time I actually downloaded the next book and skimmed the first few chapters. That is how worried, upset with Taylor, and fretful over Max I was.
I will say up front that I think the set-up of the Big Bad Mistake (or was it?) Maxwell made was poorly argued. I never quite believed that Maxwell, let alone the rest of the historians would go along with it. But it is Taylor's world, not mine.
I was intrigued by the ethics of the situation though. What does give anyone the right (or does anyone actually have the right) to remove artifacts from where other people put them? It's an issue [a:Craig Childs|42002|Craig Childs|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/m_50x66-82093808bca726cb3249a493fbd3bd0f.png] explores in [b:Finders Keepers: A Tale of Archaeological Plunder and Obsession|9010325|Finders Keepers A Tale of Archaeological Plunder and Obsession|Craig Childs|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1371429437s/9010325.jpg|13887773]. This issue is never resolved though, and it really beggars belief that any institution would just let (one of) Arthur's sword(s) disappear.
Anyway, it all turns out OK.
