Title: Your Past Is Watching You
Review: The beginning is a little sluggish, I'll admit. Honestly I found the bits with Columbus before the timejump a little slow, because I was so intent on reading about Hassan and Diko and family. His characters were believeable, though Kemal could have used a little fleshing out, and being asked to believe that Hunahpu was going to be a major character, not to mention a love interest for Diko with so little insight into his character was a little odd, especially for Card. But the story was well written, and mostly fast paced. The dialogue was believable but intelligent. The setting was well constructed. The most difficult part of this novel for Card to handle I would guess would have been the time observation and travel, and this was done very well. Very good book, but Card's usually excellent characterization, his main strength, was a tad uneven this time around. An overall excellent read, but use your imagination to fill in the gaps.
