The Anubis Gates by Tim PowersMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
It's utterly ridiculous, so it's best gulped down quickly. (Don't, for example, make a book club around it.) Satisfying twists, and more insane characters that I had bargained for. For a time travel book, Powers' London is slapdash and minimally researched, I'm sure, but the narrative doesn't slow down long enough for that to matter. The mechanics of magic and time travel may have raised a couple of inconsistencies in the plot, but if I were to go back and figure them out then I'd surely wreck the book for myself entirely. Best read with an open mind.
