Review title: Garbage
Product review: I am a sci-fi/fantasy junkie, and hated this book. The excessive number of unnecessary characters and subplots made it hard to follow, and Powers had to resort to dei ex machina several times to close them out. The middle third of the book read like a bad James Bond movie on steroids, with the principal character being chased by either 4 or 5 separate groups. The last 50 pages were pure looney-tunes. Good fantasy sets itself rules, and lives within them - this book did not.
