Back on my bullshit, reading old fantasy series instead of new library books. This is the start of another sub-series in the Deverry Cycle, and introduces some new characters (including, briefly, one who seems to be in our world, or at least a world with Christianity) before linking them up with some characters from the first series. It does fill in some holes in the flashback timeline and I liked those new characters a lot, but was glad we got to see more of the mysterious magical dwarf island as well. I’ll be honest that I have lost track of a lot of the details of who is reincarnated into who across the many, many timelines at this point, but I just sort of let it all wash over me and eventually it all makes sense. The villains here are all pretty two-dimensional (read: boring) but everyone else makes up for it. A-.
