(1 Rezension)

When life seems pointless to Norton, he accepts the position of Incarnation of Time. With the other incarnations—Death, Fate, War, and Nature already distracting him, Satan springs a cunning trap. Science fiction/fantasy legend Piers Anthony combines a gripping plot with a serious and thought-providing study of good and evil. Bearing an Hourglass is a fascinating, richly imagined tale that reaches beyond the normal science fiction/fantasy realm.

Rezensionen

hat Bearing an Hourglass von Piers Anthony besprochen (Incarnations of Immortality, #2)

Mediocrity interspersed with PAIN

The first book in the series (On A Pale Horse) was pretty good, albeit juvenile.

But this book is a HUGE nosedive in quality. Tolerable sections alternate with painfully stupid ones that purport to mock the tropes of old-time science fiction and fantasy, but they just don't work. This sort of stuff might have been considered clever in the 1930s, but - actually no. This sort of stuff is just painful for ANY era. The only reason I'm not giving this one star is because there are a few books which feel like the author is a complete deviant who is trying to r@pe readers through his book. This book isn't quite that bad.

But lord, it isn't good.
