1632 (Assiti Shards ) (Ring of Fire)

by Eric Flint

[Danielle Ackley-McPhail]

History heavy

I know, makes sense. You can't write alternate history without the history part...but there were times my eyes crossed trying to stay focused and immersed in the book because the historic elements were more action driven rather than character driven so at times I found it difficult to keep things straight. Don't get me wrong, though. I loved the book, especially the Grantville sections. All of it was well written, but it was the characters that made it shine.
