The fourth volume of The Chronicles of St. Mary's is rather dark. Like the previous books, the characters travel to various time periods and historical events. These jaunts are still narrated with a liberal dose of humor and snark. Ms. Taylor does her usual good job of spinning the tale. But this time, Max is not leading teams of historians to research the past. Instead she's on the run from the bad guys, which makes for a lot more pain and bloodshed. Philosophically, I can appreciate the reframing of a typical St. Mary's novel. But, alas, it wasn't as fun to read.

Book 4 of the Chronicles of St Mary's in which our hero and heroine are reunited but plunged back into action before even getting breakfast. The Time Police are getting stroppy and it is St Mary's job to put everything to rights.
This was more fun than book 3 but less emotionally satisfying.

"'Getting things done at St. Mary's is a bit like elephants mating,' explained Peterson. A remark that cause some mystification.
'You know - there's frantic activity at high level. There's screaming and stamping. A lot of dust is raised. Nothing happens for two years and then you're crushed by the result.'"

I love these books. They are an adventure and they also make me remember how much I love history and they have me googling all kinds of obscure dates and factoids in the past. Brilliant. (

Book 4 of the series, this may be the best yet. But when I started it I was so disappointed. Book 3 ended with what felt like a deus ex machina, and this book started with chases and emergency jumps through time to escape the mysterious Time Police. I hate car chases in movies—they bore me to no end. I was afraid this entire book was exactly that—a long car chase. But it turned out the author was far more clever than I gave her credit for by ending book 3 the way she did and how the events in that book mattered so much to this book. A smart move! As always, full of historical stories, action, adventure, near death and death, sci fi moments, and sexy moments, tears, and laughter, a little dystopia thrown in—this series has it all. Quite a fantastic book. Whatever you do, don’t read them out of order. (

Neutral: Totally not where I thought this series might be going.
Positive: Totally not where I thought this series might be going.
Positive?!: That. Trope.

There's a certain writer's cheat, a trope in time travel stories that shows up from time to time that I really hate, effectively structuring in a no-price/it-was-just-a-dream equivalent. This is the first time I've seen that trope properly subverted, and it was bloody well done.

So, 100 ticky boxes against, and this on novel with a ticky box for, "Damn, that was some fine structure and investment there."

In less cantankerous assessment, across this whole series I've been enjoying the means-and-methods subset of, "How do we do stuff without modern stuff?" This novel may just be my high point for, "That sideline was insane/excellent." (
