After the defeat of Caroline's father. I though that the rest would be denoument - and with 25% of the book left to go, an unnecessarily long one. Now I can see that this is about taking responsibility for what you break.

The way it jumps around is confusing at first. I'm starting to like Steve a bit.

Did I miss something? How did Doyle know that bleeding on the ground would disrupt the Master's magic?

Am I being too harsh on a history of literature professor for not taking into account that his Kaa might be the Ashbless who survives?

Nah. Doyle is a dumbass.

So Doyle is Ashblest. Bet right now he does get back to 1983 and Tish goes with him.

Some of this book seems a lot like Powers showing off historical/literary knowledge.

The psychology is valid for the time it was written. But I think it's actually an exploration of blurred lines between human and divine.

The Lathe of Heaven

John Payton
John Payton is on page 147 of 241 of The Princess and the Goblin
Our story so far: Curdie is captured by the goblins, and Princess Irene saves him. Proving once and for all that this is not just a New Age concept. Strong women FTW! Too bad Curdie doesn't believe anything Irene is telling him.

I'm finding this book frustrating.

The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle

John Payton
John Payton is on page 85 of 241 of The Princess and the Goblin
Our story so far:
The princess Irene goes exploring and meets her literal ancestor. Then she's caught outside after dark and terribly frightened. A miner boy (and I hate that this was a real thing) comes to her rescue. Nurse Lootie has concerns.

this is an example of a good YA book. The story is compelling, and I don't get distracted while listening to it.
