canaanmerchant 's review for:
On Stranger Tides
by Tim Powers
The writing is fine and powers deftly manages to weave his magical plot elements into the real world events referenced in the story.
The story itself is really 3-4 stories that could have all been books on their own had Powers had a mind to serialize things a bit more. I appreciate the tight focus but I felt like I read more than one climax to the story.
The magic itself was a little hard to follow. Maybe if I knew a bit more voodoo history and mythology some things would be more apparent.
