One Word Kill by Mark Lawrence

3.0

3.5 stars. The plot and characters were pretty consistently engaging, but none of the ideas were particularly new or unique. Several things happened (or didn’t) which seemed suspiciously like contrivances to make the plot go a certain way rather than as elements of good story-telling. The time travel aspect was well-handled, at least: this is a subgenre in which it is very easy to go wrong. The conclusion was satisfying.
