Shattered Hourglass by Cale Plamann
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Honestly, I guess I kinda expected more out of a baby godling. It's not bad in concept, mind you, no crazy "no, no, no," stuff happened. But I did get the distinct impression that the whole last novel was a crazy-fast push to get to the end of the tale, not a joyous exploration of all these godlike powers along the way.

Frankly, I would have been MUCH happier had we the opportunity to explore a lot more of the time magic in a way that DIDN'T just revolve around get-out-of-jail-free card or as a battery source.

I guess my main gripe is in the missed opportunities. Still, it was good up till now, and this DOES capstone the short series.


My synesthesia smells the smoke of street-fireworks, and hears nothing of the grand sky flowers.


Personal note:
If anyone reading my reviews might be interested in reading my own SF, I'm going to be open to requests. Just direct message me in goodreads or email me on my site. I'd love to get some eyes on my novels.
