Review title: Ok story, but way too S L O W
Product review: I read the first two books of the Islands in the Sea of Time series. About halfway through the second one, it just got too boring for me. The original idea was very good, but there just wasn't much of interest beyond that. Conquistador shares a similar feel.The story wasn't bad and the characters were OK, but the dialog was bad and the book was just way longer than it should have been, packed with slow boring parts with a little action sprinkled in. I also felt like the author was trying to force in a lot of little trivia all along the way, and a lot of the time it seemed forced. Add to this an anticlimactic ending and it just wasn't as good as I had hoped.I wouldn't recommend this book. Stirling seems to have good ideas, but doesn't deliver much with them.
