This was fun but not at all what I was expecting. I was expecting an ancient Egyptian setting and instead got 19th century London.
It was a fun book, mostly centred around a time travelling poetry professor from the 1980s getting stuck in 1810 England. From there it gets pretty whacky and includes gypsy wizards, a stilt clown with an army of beggars and even a body swapping werewolf.
It was all interesting and fun but after awhile it seemed like the author was a juggler with too many balls in the air and there were some moments where I found myself confused about what was happening.
Maybe I was distracted while reading it but it detracted from my enjoyment of the book.

I like the Powers that I’ve read so far, but for some reason I couldn’t get into this one yet. I tried three times. I’ll come back to it because it sounds interesting.

Actually the juggler comment is apropos. I can’t think of a Powers where he wasn’t juggling except for the perfect On Stranger Tides.
I was thinking of reading stranger tides but this one put me off a bit
